The F Word : A Whyfield Podcast
Welcome to The F Word: A Whyfield Podcast
We’re switching up the Whyfield ‘W’ to something fresh… because Why the ‘F’ not?
If you weren’t already aware, Whyfield is an accountants, but fear not, you’re not about to embark on a journey all about numbers!
Join us each week as host Laura Whyte – a business mogul in her own right – chats to an amazing roster of guests about their business journey, lessons learned along the way, and tips for success.
Did you know that the south west has around 45,000 registered businesses on Companies House, and that’s just the Limited Companies, so that’s not even counting the Sole Traders and Partnerships outside of that. Cornwall is a hub for business, so we want to share some of that creative and innovative business juice with you, by inviting some amazing minds to hopefully inspire and empower you on your own business journey.

29 – Flowscape: ‘Where Trees Meet Seas’ – restoring Cornwall’s landscapes, one woodland at a time
In this episode of The F Word, we talk ‘where trees meet seas’ with Carl Rowlinson, Founder of Plant One Cornwall, a lifelong tree lover, and passionate advocate for biodiversity and community-led conservation.
From his beginnings as a tree surgeon to launching a mission that blends business, community, and environmental action, Carl shares how Plant One is working to restore Cornwall’s woodlands.
We talk about:
• Why Cornwall is the most deforested region in Europe, and how history has shaped its landscapes
• The ambition to restore 3,000 hectares of woodland in the next 25 years
• Agroforestry: how Food, Farming, and trees can thrive together
• The surprising role of Jays in planting oak Forests!
• Flowscape: the unseen connections between land and sea, and how reforestation upland impacts kelp and seagrass on the coast
• Why businesses are the secret to scaling conservation, and how they can get involved
• The joy (and challenge) of planting trees in Cornish weather
Carl reminds us that this work is about more than carbon offsetting or numbers of trees. It’s about creating living, breathing woodlands, reconnecting people with nature, and leaving something Future generations can look at and say: “I helped make that.”
"It’s a really good way to connect. Connect back to the earth.”
