Ideas for a woodland or forest

[wisewood]

Like the red squirrel sanctuary idea, if it was my land I'd have a number of sculpture trails, something in the way of Grizedale and Lost Gardens of Hellagon. Build some tree house/stilt house pods for families to camp in or is it glamp? Open up some areas for those yurts too.

think about 'go-ape'

 

in france the setups are much better.

 

build tree houses, no planning required.

Great suggestions guys, maybe I should go for a nudist squirrel camp! where you can learn bushcraft (nude of course) sorted! I'm getting top marks for this!!!!! student of the year here I come. Ha ha,

 

I am going to start looking into the Red Squirrels, I have only ever seen them in Whinfell Forest. I get quite excited when I see one. Here in Cheshire we are "riddled" with the Grey. Our local park has a massive culling session every 2 years. This is Castle Park in Frodsham if anyone knows it. The townies call it "squirrel park" the ice cream man sells "squirrel nuts" at 50p for a bin bag full!! this is why we have so many of them.. not to mention the tree damage.

Look at Formby nature reserve too (for the red squirrel thing)

Fell the pines, offer a "plant a tree for £10" so tourists can plant a tree and go away with a certificate saying how very green they are and feeling good.

 

Then, run a raft building course using all the pine poles you've just felled

Wouldn't a pine forest be a miserable old dark place where nothing happened and nobody wanted to go?

 

My plan would be to fell it an acre a year and replant with proper trees. Probably coppice with standards.

pine forests are lovely places, especially by the coast:biggrin:

Camp site! Pink tents only of course!!!!!

Make quad trails through the woodland, start quad treks for tourists

Got to agree:thumbup:

Formby is my Home town (village) and the reds are a big part of our identity. Well worth a visit.
