Forestry England will be replanting this winter 2024/ 2025 after leaving the ground bare for over a year, with a mixture of conifer and broadleaved species.
Fencing will begin in November, the map attached shows areas to be fenced outlined in brown, providing protection for the planted trees from deer, boar, rabbits and other wildlife. The fence will remain for the following years that the trees need protecting.
We will endeavour to maintain access as far as is practically possible. Some desire lines will be within the fenced area but the main track will remain open as shown on the map.
If you have any further questions please get in touch.
Kindest regards,
