Timber Extraction

Monday, October 10th 2011

A tractor and trailer are being used to remove the felled Sitka Spruce trees from the reserve. This morning, a route in through the plantation was made and brash was used to protect the footpaths that were along the way.

Timber extraction

Due to the sensitive nature of the site, this is the largest machinery that will be used. Hopefully the weather will hold off and allow the work to take place quickly and keep damage to a minimum. Over the next few months this area will be re-planted with broadleaved trees.
