British farmers will plant a million less apple trees this year as the industry is ravaged by inflation, labour shortages, climate change and cheap supermarket prices.<br/><br/>Landowners across the country are digging up their orchards as apple production becomes financially unviable.<br/><br/>According to British Apples and Pears Limited (BAPL), British apple growers normally plan to plant 1 million to 1.5 million trees every year. <br/><br/>But this year growers ordered just 500,000 saplings - and they have since cancelled a third of those.<br/><br/>Last year a report by the agricultural and sustainability consultancy Promar for the NFU found that inflation for growers was running at around 23 per cent. <br/><br/>But they only received on average a 0.8 per cent increase in their returns from selling apples to supermarkets.<br/><br/>The BAPL has now published data highlighting the continued struggles for the top UK fruit growers - the biggest data set ever released at one time by the industry.<br/><br/>It reported that confidence in British apple growing is understandably low - with 70 per cent of growers admitting they are less confident than they were a year ago and almost half (45 per cent) of respondents said they have scaled back their future investment plans.<br/><br/>Just three per cent said they have a ‘true partnership’ with supermarkets, while 45 per cent say retailers only care about price.<br/><br/>The immediate impacts of orchards not being replanted is the loss of British-grown varieties, as well as biodiversity loss.<br/><br/>But long-term implications means a decrease in British apples in supermarkets for shoppers - at a time when buying local is being encouraged.<br/><br/>There are many factors as to why this is happening - but simply put, growers are unable to afford to invest in new orchards because they are getting such low returns for their fruit - they are no longer profitable.<br/><br/>James Smith, a fifth-generation fruit grower who runs Loddington Farm in Kent, has ripped up three orchards because apple production is no longer financially viable.<br/><br/>He has been in the business for over 20 years, but says growers cannot afford to invest in new orchards because they have such low returns on their fruit. <br/><br/>When he joined the farm 98 per cent of their income was from apples and pears.<br/><br/>But Loddington Farm's commercial apple production has dropped from 80 per cent to 4 per cent since 2018.<br/><br/>His remaining orchards are currently being converted to organic production but there has been no new planting since 2018.<br/><br/>James says climate change, labour shortages, energy prices and retailer behaviour all play an equal role in the farm's decision to step away from apple production.<br/><br/>He said: \

Located in Wick, the 8.39-hectare Golden Valley Nature Reserve is a hidden gem with stunning views, mature woodland and an industrial past.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;English oak, beech, ash, whitebeam, lime and the rare wild service tree can be found in the reserve and are all that remains of the far more ancient Kingswood royal hunting forest.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;During the mid-eighteenth century, there was an iron-founding industry based on the water power provided by the River Boyd, and there was an ironworks and paper mill within the valley in 1761.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;By 1882, a rolling mill and dam were installed across the river, according to the 1882 Ordnance Survey map. Soon after, from 1895 to 1968, ochre (a mixture of fine clay and iron oxide) processing works started in the valley.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;The buildings were demolished two years later, and the site was cleared and left for nature to reclaim, becoming a wildlife haven. The site was acquired by RMC Materials (now CEMEX) in 1970, who fenced off the area.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;The fences fell into disrepair over the years and local people began to use the site for recreation purposes. However, the future of the site became unsure as the site maintenance, accessibility, and health and safety diminished with the growth of scrub on the important grassland areas.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;South Gloucester Council intervened in 2001 and funded the clearance of scrub from the grassland at Raven&#39;s Rock. A fully-featured Management Plan for the site was created and an access agreement was signed between CEMEX and South Gloucestershire Council, giving people formal access to the former Ochre Works.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;The Friends of Wick Golden Valley help with the maintenance of the nature reserve and organise a range of events to help raise awareness of the nature reserve.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Parking is very limited near the nature reserve and the 35 and 620 buses stop next to the main entrance by High Street.
