Introduction
There are over 200 specific locations across the region where we need to plant trees to make strategic habitat connections. Reconnecting our fragmented woodland habitats is a key strand of CCF activity, helping to reverse habitat loss and ensure our woodland wildlife survives as the climate changes.
Developing tree planting schemes is challenging and takes time, but it’s important we get the right tree in the right place for maximum benefit.

Progress connecting up habitats
Now we have a good understanding of the nature and type of ownership in these target areas, we have been making contact with landowners, encouraging them to plant native broadleaved trees and help connect up woodlands.
In 2022/23 we ran a programme of free farm woodland assessments, offering advice to farmers and landowners to help them identify opportunities for new woodland planting to support their farm business.
Building on the success of this, we’re now working with a number of farmers preparing fully costed proposals for delivery, hopefully in the 2023/24 planting season.
For anyone not yet involved. there are financial incentives available through the Forestry Grant Scheme to plant trees within these connectivity sites and we’re keen to talk to anyone interested in exploring options.
