managing woodland

[xways]

We coppice and pollard ash trees and oak, but they really need to be in a ten year cycle and the stumps need covering with the twigs as red deer are a problem. Birch and alder grow like weeds around here so tend to burn them as well.
Also found holly burns well, been clearing some large holly trees due to the fact that they shade out large areas but they regrow from stumps and get less prickly the bigger they get. If anyone wants a good place to get good saplings drop us a line as been reovating an old neglected woodland gradually and these guys supply first class saplings.
