pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Some of my most formative moments were spent wandering ancient oak forests along river valleys, curled up under special trees and discovering all of the life beneath their canopies.

pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Great work and I don’t think we are talking at cross purposes. I’m interested in the why and how to change things too. I’d hope the films that I make go some way to promoting woodland creation and helping open up understanding and discussions across the different types of woodland creation. 010
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025System change requires systems to change, and often new grants are put in the hands of people that don’t understand them. No matter that people higher up believe and support them and have created them. Usually it requires an intervention and a change in processes, and sometimes staff. 100
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025…He was encouraged to take up the original grant and was actually pictured on the cover of the website promoting it with his little girl as a baby. She’d turned school age before he’d gotten the permission through. 100
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025I’d be surprised if they aren’t looking at ways to change that and not make it too complicated to administer. Most treeplanting is done for biodiversity (in England) so it would make sense. 010
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Oh, interested to hear what @richardkbroughton.bsky.social has to say. Is there something you can share? 000
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Yes, that might be some of what is actually happening. It’s still very new and one hand isn’t talking to the other. People making decisions about something they don’t understand. That is one of the challenge that Ed Green who took 4/5 years to get his application through had, but not the only one. 100
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025This might answer this question a little. My next film is partly based at High Wood on Ancient Woodland Restoration.

pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025I have spoken with the FC and sat in conferences where they were asked these questions. It’s good to see the work they are doing mapping areas where any woodland creation will be fast tracked because of low conflicting land use and taking on more people to process applications -the main bottleneck. 100
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Nat Regen works in some places not in others as deer density is much higher now. Hence the need for tree guards and deer fencing. People are waiting to see others try.

pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Yes, that was mentioned by a couple of people as something that needed to change when I made this film. youtu.be/Qxpwxda-6K8?... You can see at around 13.05 how they’ve dealt with this in the planting design behind Ali at Broughton Hall.youtu.beWhat is holding back woodland creation in the UK? - Why are we not meeting tree planting targets?YouTube video by Wood For The Trees 100
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025But they do allow for natural regeneration and it’s a 4y/o grant so teething trouble and cautiousness. We should be looking for case studies of people who have taken up the grant, to encourage more landowners to do the same, rather than saying the govt is failing to do something. It’s really not. 000
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025A grant to support natural regeneration isn’t failing to support natural regeneration. It’s been going for 4 years. It takes time for the pioneering people to try something and then their more cautions neighbours to follow suit if the process including application goes smoothly. 120
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Are there lots of land managers wanting natural regeneration in areas more than 75m from a tree? Are the land managers (and the FC) not just waiting to see results from those that have taken up this, very new, 4y/o grant which was notoriously hard to apply for because it was over subscribed? 100

pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 29/04/2025It’s a fairly new grant that has been difficult to get through as overall the application to EwCO was larger than the FC capacity to deal with. That’s changed now. But Nat regen funded positive success stories need to be shared for other landowners to try it.

pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 28/04/2025It often needs fencing. Pretty sure the grant pays for this. Browsing levels will be one of the main drivers for success. 010
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 28/04/2025I agree. We should be celebrating that natural regeneration was added to the EWCO grant and encourage uptake rather than be critical that a new grant hasn’t had so much uptake. Let’s find case studies of people doing it and share them. 000
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 28/04/2025It’s really not. Especially in England. By far the majority of tree planting is amenity/biodiversity planting. And has been for a while. We are loosing productive forestry despite being 2nd largest importer of timber. 230
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 28/04/2025It’s a fairly new addition to the tree planting grant. As it’s new, farmers and landowners will be looking to see success stories. It would be great to see the results of landowners who have gone down this route for some of their planting. It could encourage others to follow.grant.farmers 210
pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social · 09/04/2025The gorse will be protecting the regenerating woodland in these landscapes. Only way to get woodland without the thorns protecting them is planting trees with tree guards. Just visited a trial site using thorns instead of tree guards. But definitely wetter the better to protect against fire. 130
