Description

Pine Cone Wood is predominantly mid-rotation Scots pine and Corsican pine. These trees were planted approximately 30 years ago as a commercial crop, but the woodland could now be managed for amenity and conservation with some creative management techniques.

Topographically the wood is level and easily traversed by foot, there is an old ride that runs through the middle.  Scattered throughout are pockets of native mixed broadleaves such as birch, wild cherry, field maple and willow. Fertile soils of deep fine loams over Jurassic loam and clay result in excellent tree growing conditions.

A phase of gentle thinning would benefit the stand, allowing the pine trees to continue to grow to their full potential. Encouragement of the broadleaf species, along with perhaps underplanting of shade tolerant species is a possibility.

The surrounding woodland provides an attractive rural backdrop; the atmosphere of the property is one of peaceful remoteness. Wildlife is a special feature, woodland mammals frequently visit with deer (roe, fallow and muntjac) regularly seen. The varied bird population could be further enhanced by installing bird boxes.

A key benefit of Pine Cone Wood is its excellent access, along a private road suitable for cars at all times of the year. There are also soft tracks/rides to all other boundaries making for convenient onward management.


If It Were Mine

Along with periodical maintenance of the rides, I would clear the few fallen trees to the south and lightly thin the rest of the wood, thereby yielding a quantity of useful timber. Pine Cone Wood makes for an attractive amenity/semi-commercial woodland investment.
