Bere Marsh Farm has saplings of the species that it hopes to share with 'those eager to help'.
Conservationists are calling for people to use cuttings from one of UK's rarest native timber trees to help save the species.The farm, which is owned by the Countryside Regeneration Trust , said there were only about 7,000 black poplar trees in the country.CRT
The trust said it was taking "an important step" towards the "crucial" preservation, as only about 600 of the trees were female. Ms Ashdown said the cuttings would be distributed to people around Dorset and further afield, who are interested in growing their own black poplars.
