Welcome to the fifth edition of SustainabiliTREE, a 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!
