    Not sure how accurate that is I have just tried it on my wood and gained 5 acres. I am sure that is not tbe case. Only sure way to check is to measurd it

    Why don't we all try and get on instead of falling out with each other. I am sure we can all work together to make this business better

    I have a Woodward stove and that burns all night. I fill it up just before I go to bed and close the stove down a bit, there are always hot embers in the morning so just put a log on and away it goes. I understand there are two types of stainless steel flue, one for multi flue and one for wood only but I am no expert.

    The management plan cost £1000 to get drawn up and passed. I applied for a manag,event grant from the forestry commission and that was a £1000. The grant came with a 10year felling licence to cover the management plan work. I think you need 3?? Hectares of woodland to get the grant. I have a load of mixed broad leaved mature trees and a massive hornbeam boundary hedge. The consultant who did the management plan said the hedge needs cutting down to four foot high. It is about 30- 40 foot high. Never mind I will do what I can but get the big stuff cut down professionally as and when. I love spending my time in the wood and so does my Grandsons when they get the time. The wood was completely overgrown when I took it on and was impossible to walk through at least I can do that now.

    I bought ten acres about three years ago snd agin the woodland had not been managed. I had a management plan drawn up and am now slowly wirking through the wood. I wish I had someone to advise me fom time to time. Most of the scruub has been cleared now but there is still loads to do. Bought the wood for something to do in my retirement and also for my Grandsons to run wild.

    Oil prices won't remain low for long it is only a matter of a short time. Loads of people keep buying log burners so will need wood to burn on them. The problem is that a lot of women don't like the slight dust you get with a log burner. I for one will keep burning logs as long as I am fit enough to get them

    I had the same problem with my woodland, loads of trees were covered in ivy when I bought it. I cut the stems of the ivy at the base of the trees and it haas taken about a year for it to die off but depends on the size of the stem. The ivy had dried out now and has started coming away from the trees

    That is great news Andrew, I have been travelling to the other side of Princes Risborough to get mine. Olivers will be a lot closer.

    Try and work safely

    I own a small woodland and use it mainly for pleasure. My insurance company state that as the owner I am covered to use a chainsaw but my Sons must have a basic qualification to use machinery. I agree with this totally
