This use of low impact machinery has the potential to offer great benefits to the small woodland owner in Wales. They can assist in improving biodiversity by re-introducing management within under-managed woodlands, while minimising the risk of soil loss (diffuse pollution) to water courses.
This project aims to illustrate the relative merits of the different types of management and identify the most appropriate methods of minimising environmental disturbance. Key recommendations will be developed concerning the best practice for managing harvesting operations in these high risk (sloping) on-farm locations.
