This Research Report explores the issues that matter to dairy farmers in England regarding trees and increasing tree cover on farms. It looks beyond financial considerations to explore the other factors which guide and shape farmer attitudes and behaviours in this area. Understanding the range of values held by farmers in relation to trees allows us to learn how, when and where farmers may embrace having trees on their land. This will better enable those working to design policies, incentives, tools, advice or other communications to do so in ways which are more likely to succeed in delivering enduring tree cover expansion on farms.
