I want to convert some of my arable land to "natural"
forest by planting the "usual" uk species. Are there any
sources of bulk saplings at good prices? Are grants obtainable
and/or any problems with the authorities by planting trees on
my arable land?

Also does anyone know where to obtain grants to renovate ponds
and lakes?


I know a friend of mine in Cornwall got a load delivered with sticks and
plastic protectors all free from somewhere, probably the Duchy, but there
might be someone similar in your area. Try the Woodland Trust.
