Woodland management season is here which means we'll be out on site doing tree work over the coming months 🌳🌳

We remove trees for a few different reasons...

🌿 Woodland thinning
Removing selected trees gives the remaining trees more space, light and nutrients to grow. It also allows more sunlight to reach the woodland floor, encouraging other plants to thrive. This is an essential part of creating healthy, diverse woodlands.

🌳 Keeping visitors safe
Where trees are damaged, diseased or have structural defects in well-used areas, we may prune or remove them to keep our parks safe for everyone to enjoy.

🪵 Why do we leave logs behind?
Deadwood is just as important as living trees and plays a vital role in woodland health. We leave at least 20m³ of deadwood per hectare within our woodlands.

As logs decay, they return nutrients to the soil, helping to support new plant growth and providing habitat for fungi, insects and other wildlife. Without this natural recycling process, woodland soils would gradually lose the nutrients needed to sustain a healthy ecosystem.

So, if you come across piles of logs in the woods, please leave them where they are. They're an important part of our woodland management work.

🔥 Firewood and Cherry logs available 🔥

Occasionally, we have a surplus of timber that cannot be retained on site. This is processed by our team and can be purchased as firewood.

We currently have a limited supply of beautiful Cherry logs available. Freshly processed this week, they are ideal for anyone interested in green woodworking, woodturning or other craft projects. 🍒🌸

If you'd like to find out more about our woodland management, firewood or cherry logs, please get in touch: [email protected]

Lovely volunteer session in Coronation Park this morning cutting back the willow revetments along a section of sandy brook.

It was hard work in challenging weather conditions but the volunteers got stuck in and made a big difference to that area of the park.

We will continue our work to tidy and open up the less formal side of the park at Novembers session, come along and join us!
