managing natural regeneration

[David Humphries]

this Q. robur has given up the ghost but not before it had the chance to spread its seed

 

The regen has been thinned out and the grass is being left long.

 

Hopefully one of its remaining three proginy will will reach maturity.

Fantastic, whats the plan for the dead oak? How you gonna stop the guy in the tractor running over the saplings, or are they pretty good? Over here you'd have to cone and tape it off to stop someone mowing those over! Haha

How did you stop the deer from giving the young oak the nibble of death ?

Tree will pretty much be left as is Fred.

 

If I'm still around when it becomes too unstable due to root/buttress decay then we will probably shorten the branches.

 

The team that manage the conservation issues here like grassland habitat are a big part of the plans on this and others like it.

3 miles from St Paul's Cathedral is not particularly deer territory

 

A few muntjac, but they're not in evidence much.
