Hello All, I just wondered if anyone had heard any update on the re licencing of Warfarin for Squirrel control? The last I heard was that all poison had to be used up 30th September 2015, and there was on going attempts to re licence it as a landscape protection method (protecting the landscape from the loss of mature well formed trees). Thanks, Dan.

Is there a market for oak wood chip from machine shop.
saintsman54 replied to Celtictimber's topic in Milling Forum
You may have problems marketing it for biomass, as many large systems require specific chip sizes and low percentages of dust/moisture. This is to do with the automatic feed systems that supply the boilers I believe. I will have a think about potential markets.... -
Temporary Deer Fencing
saintsman54 replied to Dorset Treeman's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
No, however the fencing is only fencing small (25m x 25m) blocks within a coppice coupe. So the resident deer have other areas to browse, and leave the fenced areas alone. I highly doubt it being effective fencing a whole woodland, but I have seen good results with small areas within a woodland. -
good advice from Charlie H

Temporary Deer Fencing
saintsman54 replied to Dorset Treeman's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I have used Heras fencing to good effect, it is also easy to erect and transport and then moving on to an additional area is also easy. The other method which I have used in areas were aesthetics are important is good quality chestnut paling fencing (1.2m), which has had good results in fairly high deer density areas. -
Second the point of going on thehuntinglife, I would try and get a few references, and if its an on going control program then I would try and transfer money, either to pay for ferreting rights or pay for the ferreter to come out. As this will tie the person into completing it to the specified standard. Otherwise you could have a chap who come once and buggers off or someone that tells his mates where the site is and invites all his mates too.

I have leant towards unlined water resistant clothing over recent years, if im out of the woods and quite high activity level then its a Buffalo Systems Special 6 jacket. If I need more rip resistance then its, Swandri Woolen Jackets. Then if I am sitting in rain shooting or something then I will use waxed jacket and leggings.

I can second Jump-Its recommendation of Peter Lord. Edited to add that the chip could go to horse ménages if there are some local?

Woodland Management Advice
saintsman54 replied to Wtprop3's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
There is a lot of change in the grant schemes available at the moment as the common agricultural policy is being reformed over the next few years, and the new grants that are being developed haven't had details released properly yet. And the current grants have limited budgets and some have been closed already. So it may be best to wait a couple of years until the Forestry Commission and DEFRA have sorted themselves out and apply for a new scheme. Just so you know all grant schemes in the future will require Management Plans as a prerequisite.
