Veteran Trees: Past, Present and Future

Discover the fascinating characteristics of veteran trees and why they are important for biodiversity. Step back in time to learn about the past management of trees we see on farms; the stories they can tell us about our culture and history through time and their sense of place as boundary trees, landscape markers, fragments of lost hedgerows, ancient wood pasture, or woodland. Hear from a farmer about the importance of veteran trees on their farm for wildlife, and the importance of selecting veterans of the future and planning for the next generation.
