Welcome to SustainabiliTREE, a new podcast that explores all things trees and woodlands, with a specific focus on the issue of plastics within the forestry sector.
In each episode, we’ll be looking at a variety of topics around this theme, including woodland creation, funding streams, plastic pollution, deer, soils, ecology and so much more!
Episode 1 looks at why we plant trees whilst podcast host Katie puts her co-host, Mike, on the spot with a tricky tree fact quiz.
