Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Planting more trees is one of a combination of solutions to combating climate change, but some trees are far better than others. Which ones though? \u200b\u200bScientists have designed an experimental forest in England to work out the best formula for achieving ambitious tree planting targets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve lived for so long; just think what they\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n

\u201d Forester Nick Baimbridge is gazing fondly at a majestic oak that has stood for more than a thousand years. On this wintry afternoon, birds sing from lichen-covered branches and a deer runs through the undergrowth.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a sense of timelessness about this medieval forest, which contains the greatest collection of ancient oak trees anywhere in Europe. Blenheim Palace, a few miles away across the park, is a mere youngster at 300 years old, quips Baimbridge, the head forester of the Blenheim Estate.<\/p>\n

Standing under one of the oldest trees, he can only speculate on the turns of history witnessed by this \u201cold girl\u201d, whose genetic heritage is set to live on through acorns collected from the forest floor.<\/p>\n

The acorns, and the new generation of oaks they spawn, are crucial to the ambitions of an experimental \u201csuper forest\u201d that is being planted where the rivers Dorn and Glyme wind their way through the Oxfordshire countryside.<\/p>\n

The forest is spread across nine new neighbouring woodlands with the first trees planted out this winter. The Blenheim Estate has received a government grant of about \u00a31m to plant 270,000 trees in the nine new woodlands covering 1sq km (0.6 miles) in an inaugural scheme paying landowners to create forests with public access.<\/p>\n

The autumn of 2020 was a \u201cmast year,\u201d when the oaks produced a bumper crop of acorns, and foresters picked them off the forest floor and took them to a tree nursery on the estate, where they were planted into pots and left to grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put them in compost and just wait for them to do their thing,\u201d says Baimbridge.<\/p>\n

The saplings take several years to grow big enough to be planted out in the forest, but experts think it is worth the wait to harness the pedigree of the Blenheim oaks.<\/p>\n

These native oak trees, which can support hundreds of different species of insects, birds and fungi, will be needed in the race to reforest the UK. \u200b\u200bBritain remains one of the least wooded parts of Europe, and while new trees are being planted, ancient woodland continues to be lost.<\/p>\n

The government needs to treble tree planting efforts to meet its goal of creating 30,000 hectares of new woodland every year in the UK by 2025. But it\u2019s not enough to randomly plant millions of trees; forests must be built to last, with a combination of species that will provide habitat for wildlife as well as absorbing carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

Despite the fervour for planting trees, scientists warn it\u2019s not a \u201csilver bullet\u201d for tackling climate change. If not done with utmost care, the rush to plant trees can harm biodiversity and block land needed for other essential functions, such as growing food.<\/p>\n

And natural woodlands that contain a mixture of native species are more resilient and better for wildlife than vast plantations made up of one type of tree. That\u2019s where this experimental super forest comes in to play.<\/p>\n

The ethos behind it is to develop a formula for planting woodlands that can soak up carbon emissions, provide space for nature and people, and yield timber that will help trees pay their way.<\/p>\n

The recipe they\u2019ve come up with is to plant no less than 27 different types of tree, including conifers for absorbing carbon, a mixture of broad-leafed and native trees for biodiversity (the oaks are broad leafs), as well as trees that will supply valuable wood.<\/p>\n

Saplings from the ancient oaks will be planted on main paths and at entrances, and in clumps among the other native trees. The woodlands will be scientifically monitored to assess their effectiveness at removing carbon emissions, enhancing biodiversity, and cleaning up air and water.<\/p>\n

Oaks, hornbeams, limes, sycamore and other saplings are already in the ground, with the first phase of planting expected to be finished this month. You might want trees everywhere for absorbing carbon, but that comes at the expense of other functions of the land, says Dr Casey Ryan of the University of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat can be because you need that land for something else \u2013 probably agriculture in many cases, and we need to feed the world at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201d Lake District peatland tree planting branded \u2018heartbreaking\u2019 Scientists address myths over large-scale tree planting No silver-bullet solutions for saving used planet Kathy Willis, professor of biodiversity at the University of Oxford, has had oversight of the new woodlands.<\/p>\n

She says the Blenheim team has considered all aspects of \u201cnatural capital\u201d \u2013 the Earth\u2019s natural assets \u2013 from reducing flood risk to providing a habitat for birds and bees.<\/p>\n

Trees \u201ccan do fantastic things for biodiversity, but also carbon drawdown,\u201d she says. It\u2019s not just the government that is funding these experimental woodlands. The Morgan Sindall Group, which builds homes, schools and retail premises, is a partner in the project.<\/p>\n

A construction company might seem like an unusual bedfellow given the sizeable carbon emissions arising from the construction industry, but many businesses are trying to be more green by choosing to offset carbon emissions that can\u2019t be reduced in any other way, through tree planting schemes.<\/p>\n

Graham Edgell of Morgan Sindall says the company wanted to \u201cdo the right thing\u201d by creating woodlands in the UK with paths open to everybody. \u201cIt\u2019s not some gesture of writing a cheque and walking away; we\u2019re going to be with this woodland for 25 years as a minimum,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

So how are the new woodlands getting on? We visit the first woodland taking shape on a windswept valley carved out by the River Dorn. Nathan Fall of forestry company, Nicholsons, leads us through rows of tiny saplings emerging on what was once arable land.<\/p>\n

England has been \u201cwoefully behind\u201d on tree planting, he says, because of pressures on land. He hopes these woodlands will act as a template for future tree-planting efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can say, look \u2013 there is a model that works both financially and from an asset value perspective, then this hopefully will encourage others to follow at scale.<\/p>\n

\u201d It is hard to imagine what this place will look like in a century, when the trees are fully grown. But that is not a problem for Fall, who, as a forester, is always planning for the next generation.<\/p>\n

Down near the river there is a natural amphitheatre shielded from the wind that is set to become the site of a forest school. And it\u2019s good to think that when the new Blenheim oaks have grown to full size, they will be here for tomorrow\u2019s children to admire.<\/p>\n
