Great Northumberland Forest at Cragend Farm
The Great Northumberland Forest was officially launched in November 2019 at a tee planting event in Kirkharle. Since then many other areas have been accessed for planting including Cragend Farm where 47 trees with sturdy long life tree guards have been placed around the farm to create a sweeping landscape of deciduous trees for the future.
For a full list of the trees contact us for more details.
It sits along side our tree project to plant 100, in pasture, trees to celebrate our first decade of working at Cragend Farm.
As well as all these 'special' trees we continuously plant regularly to restore the natural pattern of our woodland.
