Bryn Arw, where we planted 135k broadleaf trees three winters ago. It was a complicated process, delivering a project like this at scale on common land. But it was always going to be even harder getting the saplings through the bracken in the early years. Well, it’s working.

Some tall saplings leaving our nursery today, going to a plant site in the Bannau Brycheiniog. The site is covered in bracken - a plant which seems to be adapting very well to climate change and spreading throughout the Welsh uplands… 1/2
