    One of the old woodmen on the estate went to work on monday and came home on friday he lived in the woods all week, he knew all the wildlife in his woods. He made hazel benders and put a tarp over campfire going all day = peace.

    Now thers a story. I was allways made to fell and clear but i have now talked them into keeping some complete dead and some trunks. One tree i cut off all the boughs as it is in the front park with events and i did cut in a bird box. In the back park all the trees have all the stag head deadwood so the % of deadwood is getting better. This years project is a log pile or two for the great crested newts to live under in the winter.

    Don't let me put you off ian i have 16 veteran oaks two of which are about 1300 three veteran sycamore and veteran lime. The avenue of oaks is 1600 with a lot of the old ones still in place. They have been kept and worked on and i risk assess them once a year and the hazard trees once a month.
