Planting Trees for Life

[@jeffreymabbe9829]

Beautiful!

[@stumpfarm3714]

Not forestry, just agriculture.

[@arapkokocooperates2165]

So great

[@kerra7386]

Great video! Thank you for making this 😊

[@robertwilkes2105]

Spray with what?? Roundup??

[@Fintan33]

I simply just want to leave the land better off than what it was before - I'm about to put an offer in for some woodland in East Sussex, the place has been stripped of trees so the aim is to replant for a thriving eco system purely.

[@mihancic]

This must be a great job, planting trees.

[@Gazmaz]

What happens to the tubes when the tree splits them are they collected, out walking I see so much of the protective (plastic?) tubes and I feel that it is great that some people plant the trees but a shame the protection is just left . I’m sure you collect them but wanted to understand?

[@kerra7386]

I can’t speak for them, but where I live people put those around their trees and then take them off when the tree gets big enough to withstand things on there own 😊

[@bosse641]

Wonderful job.

[@mrsgbee]

Very grateful for your constant input into our clean air and beautiful spaces. I know you are paid, and it is done for a crop, but the side effects are very beneficial to our, and future generation's health.

[@DominicPreece88]

It's not the trees aren't at an age where they improve air quality or suck in much carbon. Its not beneficial because the little amount of carbon that is sucked out is released once cut down.

keep it up

Amazing life

Let's use ecosia 👍🌱🌲🌱🌳

[@professordogwood8985]

Douglas Firs aren't native the UK are they?

[@stuartlyons5383]

can i ask why does David Dolby use such a short spade to plant trees ?

[@pamelasaravia7528]

It will look beautiful! thank you.

[@michaelairley2015]

No. It won't

[@orangeedo]

Forests planted in straight lines are simply fields of trees.

[@esmaistuu]

Yes

[@joshfoster9832]

Nothing wrong with that really

[@joshfoster9832]

@@orangeedo Not massively, the management of the forest is more important. Coppice will provide many more habitats than even aged timber crop, and the species mix makes a big difference.

[@kevinlaney6276]

After they've been thinned a few times it looks more like a natural woodland as the lines will no longer be visible.

[@cne1975]

How are they Trees for life if you’re chopping them down every 50 years or so

[@jezwc]

And spraying to kill brambles etc.. I think there needs to be a much clearer definition here between replanting for commercial gain and rewilding for the good of the ecosystem

[@Bernietheoc]

👏

[@innerengineering3396]

Only if there was a machine/robot to plant these seedballs properly fast at scale and water these seedballs once in while. Maybe if the seedball was made by adding manure of local species like goats and cows, they may not eat it. #savesoil

[@jackwheatley8]

Spray the brambles? lol great, got any better ideas than that?

[@jigz6234]

Goats

[@DuncanPepper]

We now know that straight lines don’t produce the greatest yield. FC densities are silly

[@michaelairley2015]

So basically you are planting products. You aren't making an environmental forest area for nature.

[@starr1997]

why plant them in rows, it will look terrible!!

[@benpaynter]

It drives me nuts that still in this day and age we wrap newly planted trees in single use plastic which more often than not get left with the trees and ultimately pollute the environment, not to mention the fossil fuels used to make them in the first place. I get that they need protecting but there are non-plastic alternatives.

[@warrioressmistress3505]

Please use biodegradable tree guards and stop spraying chemicals in nature! Big no no. Brambles do protect the tree's.

[@aleccap5946]

What happens before every Christmas ? Not a few, but millions of trees are cut down

[@wyominghome4857]

Usually off of Christmas tree farms. :)
