I do not think you can get it under the native tree scheme. That is the problem. I am on about one tree. You cannot go taking up fields. There is a ditch and you could sow a side of it or along the ditch. It was done years ago. Does the Chair agree? It would not affect the farming. It was ticking the box the Department required. It was bringing more native trees in. It did a lot. When those trees grow, they are lovely.
