AAR Forestry Partnership purchased 20 hectares of arable land near Okehampton in early 2020, applied for a Woodland Creation Grant through DEFRA, had a Forestry Commission planting contract delivered in May 2020. The site was primarily planted with productive Eucalyptus nitens with planting completed in early June 2020. The Eucalyptus planting was carried out using a planting machine, with the row ends being completed by hand planters.
