Thousands of Trees for the Future.

Who makes those high seats ?

They look like they rely on ladders for quick assembly- looks like a good robust design.

Looks like a nice bit of ground over time

why hasn't the land owner fitted deer fencing?

Is anyone controlling the squirrels ?

I will control everything on the list thats reqested by the land owner and his woodland adviser.

Post #5 I've started advising any tree planting I'm involved with

Here comes the narcissist….

Wow a "spare" 30 acre field, don't ever move up here! a flat looking 30 acres, I've seen 3 acres planted on some of my farms as long as they chop enough hedge out to get the combine in!

I was thinking the same.
Not many fields as big as 30 acres around here, unless it's open mountain.
Flat fields are even rarer!
There'd have to be some pretty serious grant funding behind the tree planting to make it a better option than renting the field out at £200 - £300 / acre / year around here (North Wales), but I know that farmland in East Anglia, where the OP is, has a very low rental value for some reason, so it probably does stack up financially.
(I rent land in East Anglia, so speaking from experience).

We have 2 close by @ 90 and 87 acres, add vines also the set up cost it goes from a value of 10k an acre to 30k in a few years.

That's interesting. Why is that do you think?

Add the cost of planting them wires posts 3 years of labour then with them making grade 1 grapes at 7k per ton
so the land value goes up
