Tarn Hows woodland project
When our team of foresters at Tarn Hows in Cumbria decided it was time to do a little forest housekeeping, little did they know they’d be faced with some tough conservation choices. But with the help of three strong Irishmen, two even stronger Shire horses and a logging trailer, they soon had Tarn Hows restored to its original glory.

Conserving our plant heritage for the nation
The Plant Conservation Programme (PCP) protects the historically and botanically significant, rare or threatened plants in National Trust gardens and parks. Based at Knightshayes Court in Devon, the PCP propagates the Trust’s most important plants, supplying gardens with ‘spares’ or ‘replacements’ of otherwise irreplaceable specimens.
