Matthew Shute will be attending the Groundswell Festival 2026 at Lannock Farm on 1-2 July 2026 as a speaker for the following session:

From Roots Up: Practical Tree Resilience for Productive Farms

From Roots Up: Practical Tree Resilience for Productive Farms
Join an arboriculturist alongside livestock and cereal farmers for a guided walk exploring the inner workings of trees—from roots to the canopy, from young specimens to our oldest, most characterful veteran trees. Together, we’ll uncover how trees function, how they interact with everyday farm activity, and what practical steps farmers can take to support their resilience. Expect real-world discussion on management, pressures, and opportunities to help trees thrive within productive farm systems. Come along and pick up practical insights you can take straight back to your farm.

The Groundswell Festival provides a forum for farmers, growers, or anyone interested in food production and the environment to learn about the theory and practical applications of regenerative farming systems. You can find out more or purchase tickets from the festival website.
