TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTOR’S REPORT) For the year ended 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the Charity are to promote the following purposes:

The trustees are satisfied that the charity’s activities as performed in 2022-23 have been for the public benefit.

Activities, achievements and performance

Tree nurseries

Our tree nurseries have continued to prosper following the investments made in part with funding from the Green Recovery Challenge Fund. This has ensured that in 2022-23 we have been able to grow a record number of trees across our two sites in Dartington and Broadley. The infrastructure including the introduction of an irrigation system at Dartington fed from rainwater collected from our new outbuilding also helped make a difference through the exceptionally hot temperatures over Summer 2022.

Activity associated with this Close the Gap funding (Green Recovery Challenge Fund) concluded in summer 2022. Through the partnership we supported more than 400 communities with the Copse in a Box scheme, promoting the establishment of more community tree nurseries. More than 800 copies of The Tree Grower’s Guide co-authored by our director Adam Owen were also distributed.

Our staff have continued to offer their knowledge and expertise to other communities keen to set up tree nurseries in the South West and further afield and regularly welcome visitors to see our site at Dartington.

Our local provenance stock makes our tree nurseries unique in the South West we gather, grow and plant trees from Dartmoor reflecting the best species mix for native broadleaved woodland and the unique temperate forests we are fortunate enough to have fragments of remaining locally. Last year we collected a wide variety of seeds, nuts and berries that were then processed, stratified and sown in our tree nurseries including 20,000 acorns.

Through our programme of woodland creation and restoration we are proactively contributing to a growth in tree planting in our area. Moor Trees was successfully audited for the Woodland Trust UK and Ireland Sourced and Grown Assurance Scheme (UKISG) for tree seed and tree nursery stock. The charity is also a cluster lead for the Plant Healthy Certification Scheme as part of the government funded Trees Outside Woodland programme.

Tree planting

Moor Trees partners with a range of organisations such as the Woodland Trust and Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest to help groups and individuals access funding to support woodland creation in our region. Over the winter of 2022-23, with the help of a diverse cohort of volunteers, we planted more than 18,900 trees covering over 9.3 hectares of land and extending across 1.7km of hedgerow. Our team of volunteers planted 40% more trees this year compared to the previous year. Of the eleven sites we planted, five were in the national park boundary. Nine of the sites were fields which had been historically grazed, and some of these will continue to be used for grazing as the trees are fenced in field corners or small thickets. Of these sites one was funded by the England Woodland Grant Offer and two were funded by the Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest.

Planting team at Higher Norris Farm

The scheme at Higher Norris Farm received a tree planting grant from PSDCF. Over two Sundays in March, a team of Moor Trees staff and volunteers successfully planted 650 trees. Speaking about the tree planting, Richard Howell, the landowner stated ‘Without the efforts of Moor Trees and the money from the Community Forest none of this would have been possible. Instead, we now have the pleasure of being able to witness some Devon native saplings – alder, oak, birch, hawthorn, hornbeam and more taking root on our land and hopefully thriving well into the future. Eventually, and if all goes to plan, our trees will be but a very small part of the 11th Community Forest in the

Page 4

country, which will cover no less than 1,900 hectares of land and stretch from Plymouth city centre to the edge of Dartmoor.’

We also helped with the creation of a new community woodland on land at Linhay Hill Quarry near Ashburton donated to the Devon Federation of Women’s Institutes by E & JW Glendinning Ltd. A total of 14 different types of native woodland broadleaf tree were planted in a former quarry site, including common alder, sessile oak, field maple, hazel, alder buckthorn, crab apple, wild cherry, blackthorn, goat willow, and rowan were. Over the coming years this will create a rich, biodiverse habitat for birds, mammals, and insects.

Moor Trees also worked closely with Parklife South Devon CIC and provided them with 6,000 trees through our Trees for Woods scheme funded by the Woodland Trust which we also helped to plant. In addition, we also planted at a Devon County Farm near Ipplepen and a future community forest at Wembury, supporting the National Trust with a large-scale planting project.

On every site we plant we return the following two summers to check on the trees. On larger sites we re-visit every five years to conduct ecological surveys. Each year our team, supported by our volunteers, carries out a series of site and monitoring visits. We check on the growth of new trees planted the previous winter. With now over 150 sites across Dartmoor and the wider area we continue to collect data on flora and fauna to understand how treescapes can enhance biodiversity while also measuring the impact on soil compaction, carbon storage and sequestration. In 2022-23 we visited over 20 sites planted by Moor Trees. The woodlands we have created are now rich in biodiversity. Most notably, we discovered the Southern Marsh Orchid growing on the edge of a 10year-old woodland, which had not been spotted in the area before. Other species included varieties of butterflies, moths, beetles, birds, mosses, and countless other plants.

Volunteering with Moor Trees

Volunteering at Moor Trees is an opportunity to learn new skills, understand more about forest heritage while helping to improve the environment, support the local community, enhance biodiversity and at the same time improve individuals’ mental health and wellbeing. Through our regular, weekly volunteering days the charity benefited from more than 4,500 hours, equivalent to more than 2.5 full-time members of staff.

Seed Gathering, autumn 2023

Page 5

Activities range from collecting seeds from local woodlands and helping to germinate them in our nurseries, through to nurturing and tending more than 40,000 saplings in our nurseries before planting on sites across Dartmoor and our local area.

‘ When first researching volunteering roles, Moor Trees stood out to me because I felt a pull towards conservation work and planting trees native to Devon was a worthwhile endeavour. What I learned from my two years at Moor Trees, set me on a path to becoming a Countryside Ranger….It was the initial spark that lit my imagination to do more. Elaura, Volunteer

‘It was an amazing day! Distributors from all over the UK and members of our leadership team from across the world, joined together to work as one AquaSource family. We were honoured to plant a small woodland in a truly beautiful spot, and we can’t wait to revisit and watch the area develop and grow.’ Amanda Sly, AquaSource UK and EU Country Manager

Communications and outreach

The charity continues to promote its activities through a twice-yearly membership newsletter and regular e-newsletters. Our social media channels provide an opportunity to promote our regular volunteering days as well as educate the wider community about our seasonal tasks of seed gathering, tree growing and planting.

At our nurseries and field days we also invite students from the University of Plymouth and other institutions to engage in our work.

Advocacy and PR

Our events programme included both our Annual General Meeting in September along with a special event where selected farmers, landowners, conservation groups and ecologists, including Natural England were invited to visit an example of valley woodland regeneration on a Dartmoor farm: Yadsworthy near Cornwood. Opportunities to see these special habitats within a wider valley context help to spark debate and form ideas for a potential future exploring both the barriers and opportunities for similar nature recovery elsewhere on Dartmoor.

As a lead member of the Community Tree Nursery Collaborative, a body representing community tree nurseries around the UK, we have continued to deliver workshops and webinars every few months, sharing knowledge and ideas.

Fundraising

Our range of corporate supporters continues to grow with 25 businesses supporting and engaging with us in a range of ways though partnerships and volunteering days.

Our corporate partners in 2022-23 were: AquaSource, Bandvulc Tyres, Chagstock Festival 2022, Christopher’s Estate Agents, Doyle and Whitley, Glass Partitioning, Goulden & Sons, Konker LTD, LHC Design, Meritex International, Sam Evans Ltd, Sanghaseva, R&A SHAW, South Hams Motor Club, Treewise Ltd, VESP Architects, Wildings Studio and WM Guitars Ltd.

The charity continues to offer tree dedications and also successfully ran a crowdfunding campaign with Aviva Community Fund this year.

Our people

The charity currently has a small, dedicated team of five staff. Salaries are reviewed annually by trustees as part of budget considerations and approval. All new roles recruited have their salary agreed by the trustees following input from an HR advisor.

Trustee selection

Page 6

Trustees are selected following receipt of an application and successful interview. Trustees are elected by secret ballot at a General Meeting by the members. Trustees need to obtain at least 50% of the vote. Trustees serve until the next Annual General Meeting following their election. Retiring members are eligible for re-election.

- Looking ahead to 2023 24 and beyond

This year trustees concluded our work to refresh our vision to 2050. Work has started to carry out a review of the charity’s key performance areas including our tree nurseries, volunteer management and our policy for future woodland creation. This highlighted the following priority areas to build a more sustainable charity, supporting continued growth to support our ambitious vision, these included:

  1. Expand our tree planting activities

  2. Maintain and run our two efficient and productive tree nurseries achieving year on year growth in volume of trees to plant and sell

  3. Continue to build and expand our relationships with local NGOs, local government, landowners, community organisations and specialist interest groups

  4. Grow our volunteer engagement through improved recruitment, training and support

  5. Carry out regular monitoring of biodiversity and tree establishment at previously planted sites to improve our data gathering and insights

  6. Advocate for community tree nurseries and provide specialist and practical advice and guidance to an expanding network

  7. Make a difference on natural regeneration and be a source of local knowledge and expertise

TREASURER’S REPORT For the year ended 31 MARCH 2023

This year the charity’s income and expenditure returned to levels similar to activity prior to the previous year (2021-22) when significant funding was secured to improve our tree nurseries and publish tools and guidance to educate other community organisations to set up and run community tree nurseries.

Our recent investments at the tree nurseries were further enhanced this period by capital funding from the government’s Tree Production Capital Grant administered by the Forestry Commission. This has led to a continued growth in the number of trees we are growing.

Income

This year the charity generated £297,111 in income of which £150,998 was through restricted funds. Unrestricted funds amounted to £146,113. Investing in a dedicated fundraiser helped the charity to further diversify its income working with a variety of existing and new funders including an increase in corporate supporters.

The charity continued to receive annual support from the Woodland Trust to assist with our Trees for Woods scheme. In addition, unrestricted grants were awarded from the Neighbourly Foundation, National Lottery Community Fund, The Big Give and CLA Charitable Trust. Funding from Steel Charitable Trust and The D’Oyly Carte Trust will be used in 2023-24 to enhance our productivity at our tree nurseries and provide training to volunteers assisting with our annual seed gathering activity respectively.

We brought forward £65,136 into the 2022-23 financial year.

Expenditure

The charity’s expenditure was £275,638.

Fund balances

As at the year-end, Moor Trees has total funds available of £86,609 of which £49,042 is unrestricted designated funds.

Reserves

The trustees have reviewed the charity’s reserves levels as these were held at zero in 2022-23. A commitment has been made to increase our reserve levels in 2023-24 and have a reserves strategy that provides a suitable level of reserves to provide financial stability for the charity in order to develop its principal activities.

Risk mitigation and management

The trustees meet regularly and review risks throughout the operating year. The charity’s principal risks include its financial sustainability and resilience, pest management and biosecurity at the tree nurseries, extreme weather events, volunteer recruitment and retention, safeguarding, health and safety especially at our tree nurseries and tree planting operations.

Page 14

Moor Trees Notes to the Accounts

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

useful life:
Nursery/ Planting equipment 20-25% reducing balance
Motor vehicle 33% reducing balance
Office equipment 25% reducing balance

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Page 15

Moor Trees Notes to the Accounts

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

2 Company status

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital. Each member gives a guarantee to contribute a sum not exceeding £1.00, to the company should it be wound up. As at 31 March 2023 therefore were 7 members.
