Rejuvenating 12 acres of neglected woodland is no small task, especially as we hope to do much of the work ourselves. Below are our adventures dealing with chainsaws, felling licence and tree preservation orders!
At the time of writing (Winter 2010) we are in the process of commissioning a woodland management plan - this is an in depth document that details what we are intending to do in the woodland and when.

Unfortunately the process is rather slow!Do you have a great story about this? Share it!
