Welcome to the woodmans choice. I don't let gamekeepers decide nothing and we don't have a forestry consltant but we do have a land agent but he does not know an ash from an oak. true story this he took me in rondwood to mark up two or three oaks to sell as timber trees he marked one and it was an ash he said no it is not ash trees have smooth bark the tree was at least 300 years old with deep fisures.

I say it is all sporting here but that is not all true, the owner is mad on trees and wild flowers so he is always wanting work done in the woods. we are also trying to clear all the neglected ponds.

All the timber trees on my estate are overaged when one falls down the timber merchant comes out and says he can not pay any thing because of the cost for him to remove it. but the woods here are managed but this is only for sporting if the shooting stopped i would not have a job:001_smile:
