Our nursery in Newton grows almost 2 million Scots pine a year. Some of these saplings are used for native woodland restoration while the rest is planted for timber.
To gather seeds for growing, we need to make sure we get the cones before they open or drop to the ground and lose their seeds. This means getting up into the trees.
