🧵Sustainable Farming Scheme #SFS 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

For over 5 years, we've campaigned for a targeted increase of native trees on agricultural land.

Our advocacy is farmer inspired & led.

Initially shaped by the farmer led #Pontbren project.

🧵#SFS Where does the 6-7% average tree cover on🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿farms come from?

Type of Agricultural Land by Area, official agricultural land statistics last published 2017

Area “woodland” 92,770 ha
Area of farmland - excluding above area of woodland 1,507,117ha

This makes woodland on farms come out at 6.15% of the total area of farmed land. We'd suggest this is probably the lower end of a figure.

It's not clear to what extent the definition of woodland uses, or includes trees outside of woods.

🧵Farms aren't required to plant 10% of their land. Only to bring their existing tree & woodland cover up to 10%. On average, farms in Wales already have 6-7% tree cover.
