Uses for my tpo woodland???

[Carl]

I have a woodland with a tree preservation order on it, can you come up with any profitable ideas?

charge bunny huggers a fee to hug a tree, or even better charge them to plant trees:thumbup1:

In making the TPO the LA has identified it as a public amenity worthy of preserving

 

Flog it to the LA, if they have any money.

Just because its TPO'd does not mean it cannot be maintained, I'm sure you could draw up a suitable management scheme, to remove some of the suppressed, deceased, poor form trees, etc, with suitable replacement planting.

 

You could then end up with some fire wood and the woodland would have a more sustainable future, you may even be able to get some grant funding.

 

The FC would be my first port of call, as a felling license over rides a TPO, I believe.

I've been to them, they don't have any money, typical

I have been to the fc and I can get improvement grants of up to 20 k, I will be doing this, I just want a few ideas of things to do alongside this

Paintball area?

[Carl]

Definately a decent idea but I have a public footpath along one border and a row of houses along another, I could see a court case breaking out haha

Woodland "workshops" for traditional crafts?
