Old oaks

The oak is the dominant tree of the area and there are over 90 oak trees on Elm Farm, ranging from 2 to 250 years old. These trees provide good habitats for wildlife and shelter for livestock in the middle of the field.

Organic farms do not plough under the canopy of field trees as this could damage the roots and eventually kill the trees.
