Geoffrey Newman

Agroforestry & Traditional Orchard Senior Specialist, Natural England

Working on agri-environment schemes in Gloucestershire and Herefordshire I quickly became interested in traditional orchards. Advising on traditional orchard silvopasture systems for 15 years. I planted my own orchard 12 years ago which is my own experimental plot. I am passionate about Perry Pears, making my own Perry and Cider. I took up the NE agroforestry role last year which has given me an insight into many forms of agroforestry.
