A discussion of Sustainable Forestry of broadleaf trees. Tree planting in the UK and the need for strategy, planning and maintenance to nurture woodland. Silviculture expert Graham Taylor talks to sawmill manager Tom Barnes about the process of forest management, and the issues facing UK woodlands. "Tree Planting in and of itself is not a solution to our problems" says Tom Barnes, manager of a family owned sawmill that specialises in British grown timber. Filmed at the Bathurst Estate in May 2021. The number of tall, straight trees on the estate is astonishing, and the result of many centuries of skilled management. Graham said “fundamentally, the estate has been carrying out good forestry practice for multiple generations.”
