Strong Roots: Growing British Tree Nurseries

The Strong Roots project explored the key barriers to domestic tree production and identified solutions to increase the availability of homegrown trees, with evidence-based recommendations for improved governmental support for the sector.

This report sets the foundation for an action plan for Britain led by Defra, the Welsh Government, and the Scottish Government. It outlines key strategic recommendations and immediate actions to strengthen tree production and create the conditions for a thriving and resilient sector.

The project was a collaboration between the Woodland Trust, Horticultural Trades Association, National Trust and Royal Horticultural Society.
