Silver birch is a great wood, bark will ignite even in wet conditions and makes a great fire lighter and the water that rises in the spring is full of health property’s, if you have enough it’s worth tapping a few trees as they recon birch water is going to be one of the next big health things, dead easy to do and they can produce an incredible amount in short time ??

 

I keep meaning to do that!

The birch, not the blonde....... well........ :icon_redface:

I'm a bit like that mate, got half a dozen good ideas in my head at any one time. 'Right, I'm doing this today', then I've forgotten about the other ones! Lol

If you are to going fell most or some of the pines ,depending on species ,contact a wood merchant first .To make a profit you need to core it out in 3 m STRAIGHT trunk sections and  stack near a access road .Raw wood is worth a good price at moment so don’t miss the opportunity to make money to plough back in .

Planting schemes are long investment .You won’t get much canopy under ten years if it’s broad-leaved saplings .If it’s just roe you won’t have to worry about fencing ,just tree guards .Roe arnt a herd animal and are predominantly grazers rather than browsers .

Letting light in is THE main catalyst for regeneration .Saplings otherwise stunted will bloom and ground cover will appear within 3 years .

There's an option to let a contractor in if I remember rightly, they come in mark whichever trees they want to take, then if you're happy to go ahead they come in with the team and machinery etc
