An overhead shot of open fields intersected by a drystone wall. To the right are grazing sheep and to the left are people planting a hedgerow.

In the forefront of the shot is a close-up of a bare root tree about to be planted. In the background are two people planting trees.

A man wearing waterproofs and a woollen hat kneels on the grass as he plants bare rooted trees into the ground.

This is PROVEN carbon sequestration at a fraction of the cost. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
