North York Moors seeks fields and hedgerows for free trees ( www.darlingtonandstocktontimes.co.uk )

Schemes are being highlighted to encourage tree planting in the North York Moors National Park.

There are several schemes to encourage landowners to consider tree planting in the North York Moors, some of which look to create whole new woodlands and others, such as the Landscape Tree Scheme, which looks to plant between ten and 20 trees per project in sturdy, stock-proof shelters.

They can be planted in fields and open spaces, where they provide shade for grazing animals, but also along existing hedgerows, therefore having minimal impact on land use.
