Funding is requested for the materials and labour associated with the building of a forest track.
The track will enable LW to access an area of woodland otherwise inaccessible to felling machinery and allow timber to be removed from site with minimum disruption to the rest of the woods and will pave the way for replanting of a small area of softwood by way of a future cash crop whilst the rest is restored to broadleaved cover. This will enable LW to remain financially viable into the future by providing income during scheduled thinning.
As an indirect effect the track will also open up areas of the woodlands to the public that have not been able to be accessed.
