In this episode of The F Word, we talk ‘where trees meet seas’ with Carl Rowlinson, Founder of Plant One Cornwall, a lifelong tree lover, and passionate advocate for biodiversity and community-led conservation.From his beginnings as a tree surgeon to launching a mission that blends business, community, and environmental action, Carl shares how Plant One is working to restore Cornwall’s woodlands.We talk about:• Why Cornwall is the most deforested region in Europe, and how history has shaped its landscapes• The ambition to restore 3,000 hectares of woodland in the next 25 years• Agroforestry: how Food, Farming, and trees can thrive together• The surprising role of Jays in planting oak Forests!• Flowscape: the unseen connections between land and sea, and how reforestation upland impacts kelp and seagrass on the coast• Why businesses are the secret to scaling conservation, and how they can get involved• The joy (and challenge) of planting trees in Cornish weatherCarl reminds us that this work is about more than carbon offsetting or numbers of trees. It’s about creating living, breathing woodlands, reconnecting people with nature, and leaving something Future generations can look at and say: “I helped make that.” "It’s a really good way to connect. Connect back to the earth.” Enjoy episode 29 of The F Word. Find out more and get involvedPlant One Cornwallplantonecornwall.comNo Trees No Seas campaign – live now!  - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/no-trees-no-seasInstagram: @plant_one_cic  https://www.instagram.com/plant_one_cic/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/carl-rowlinson-2607a3b3  For more episodes, head to whyfield.co.uk/podcastsAnd… For more From us, Find us on all socials at @whyfield
