Woodland Management

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. It is the first step in getting both the felling license and permission from the council to fell in an area with a tree preservation order. Unfortunately the process is rather slow!
