Summer At Appin Forest

Not a bad life on a nice summer evening!
A block straight ahead planted last year.
Room with a view.

A typical summer evening parked up on site in Dumfries & Galloway, after a day of maintenance work hand weeding trees with RW Forestry.

Mattock Planting at Cogra Moss

Tree planting for JAH Forestry at Cogra Moss, a Forestry Commission site near Ennerdale in the Lakes. It’s tough and rewarding work! A great environment to work in, both wild and extreme.

Woodland Thinning At Witherslack

The cutting season has started in the woods and we’ve been busy at Witherslack Woodlands close to the Halecat woodyard thinning out areas of native woodlands, clearing out dense natural regeneration and selective felling of genetically weaker standard trees. Ash is common on this site most of the young new growth has fallen victim to die back although there are still plenty left over for future seeding.

Many multi stem stools of old Hazel coppice have been cleared here also along with blackthorn and hawthorn. We’ve left some interesting mature  Crab Apple trees and a few small Buckthorn in there, appearing into the open space are a good mix of mature species including Ash and Oak, along with some non native Larch, Sycamore and Pine.
