Diversify the business away from reliance on clearfell harvesting to the more bespoke services of working in inaccessible parcels of woodland. Our proposed investment in timber harvesting/extraction equipment, in: used 8-wheeled timber harvester (anticipated year of manufacture 2014-15) with recovery winch; new harvesting head for existing excavator base and new forwarder with blade, will significantly reduce the impact of operations and dramatically improve business performance.
These enhanced capabilities for thinning work with high accuracy for accessing, cutting timber to desired lengths for sawmills and extracting with minimal surface damage.
With grant support, this will lead to significant improvement for the company, which in turn will allow us to improve the flexibility and capacity to process, mobilise timber and use timber in the supply chain.
