Purchase of equipment to expand business and improve safety. To sustainably manage the 26ha of woodland on Nant Y Garreg farm. Thinning is required of mature stands to emphasise a practice of continuous cover.
11.85ha is mature conifer stand and commercially viable. Investment is required for equipment suitable to extract large conifers and broadleaves on a steep site.
Funds will be spent on machines suitable to remove 2ton trees 100m from track and efficiently haul lengths to a roadside landing for processing, storage and sales.
It is our aim to achieve an alternative management practice with a holistic approach to the immediate woodland habitat and greater environment.
