Non-commercial grazed orchards, grazed woodlands or areas in agroforestry

Grazed woodland or grazed orchards with more than 50 trees per hectare may be considered eligible if:

  • there has been a history of acceptable grazing practice and there is sufficient forage and evidence of acceptable grazing;

  • grazing is not damaging the ecological value of the site, for example, by significantly reducing the number of existing tree seedlings and saplings or by reducing the occurrence of grazing sensitive plants.

If there are single trees, a line of trees or a clump of trees with grazing available right up to the trees, no deduction needs to be made for the tree trunks.

Agroforestry is having agriculture and tree growing on the same land.
