>The types of tree being planted has become a bone of contention. **The company plans for almost three quarters of the trees to be conifers, which are an outside species.** However, critics have said this threatens biodiversity and have demanded they plant solely native broadleaves.

Re wild farms so we import our food?!
Thats crazy, bad for the planet, bad for wildlife, bad for the economy and food security.
