On the whole, I do like the NT but for years now, they've been drowning in their own paperwork. And as with most large organisations, they've got a whole bunch of managers, who demonstrate daily, that they have no real idea what is needed to function in the real world. If it can't be stapled at a desk, filed & forgotten or talked about for months on end, (without a meaningful conclusion) they're not interested.

The N/T and woodland/t tried a couple of years back to stop people taking windblown, this was through the courts. THEY LOST.

You have not to seen with the intent of cutting, not carrying any implements that can cut the growth.

Try google search for windblown will probably lead you to the parliament stationary office where you will find the papers on the subject.

Hang on a minute. They own these woods and the trees in them. They generally manage them with an aim of increasing species diversity. About 2/3 of all the insects and beetles in a wood live on dead wood, so leaving this dead wood is vital to the ecology of the wood.

How would you feel if somebody came along and dug up the flowers in your garden because they wanted to take them back to their garden? Its not whether you can get away with it but that this is their property, not yours and you are disrupting the ecology of that wood. Rant over!!!!

a good reply, as a woodland owner I can thankfully say to my knowledge I don't have any wood thefts from my wood, in all honesty I've not seen a living soul since december, but as above, apart from the wildlife/insects etc, irrelevant of whether its laying on the floor or not, it belongs to be not anyone else, so get orf my land...

 

I do have a woodland owner friend, that sadly has a big problem with wood theft,

HI RAT we were at mates in bath and we were looking out of the house and there was 3 chaps carry a cord wood and i told the farm who was with us at the time he said its a night mere people taking wood i seen one on the side of the road he was in a wheel chair using a hand saw with other chap looking on at him jon

If he asked for permission to remove wood and it was granted then it would not be theft I presume? The guy is asking for advice on how to go about this not how to put on a ski mask and become a wood ninja!

[woodyguy]

Fair point. Guess I was pointing out why the woodland trust and national trust may not view dead wood as a waste product of no value but something they wish to keep.

It's a hard one part of me is saying that public areas/parks et al are public owned so is it theft??
