Description

Coddington Moor Plantation is a mixed broadleaf and conifer woodland in a rural part of east Nottinghamshire, near Newark-on-Trent. The main access is through a 3^rd party owned small scale timber mill and then along a stone track, with year round access. Within the woodland there is a number of soft tracks that have served the current owner well. Some of these have been become overgrown through lack of use, but a bit of time spent clearing would open them back up again. There are 2 secondary access points directly onto Stapleford Lane – one in the northwest corner and the other in the southwest corner.  Either (or both) could be reinstated if so desired.

The woodland can be broadly split into three different areas, the eastern block (approximately 4.7 acres) is made up of 20-30 year old Scots pine, planted as a commercial investment and managed accordingly. The middle block is a mix of planted spruce (of a similar age to the pine) and mature oak, and the western block is more predominantly mature oak with a smattering of spruce, sycamore, hazel, hawthorn and holly trees too.

The woodland has been primarily used and managed for the amenity and shooting opportunities it offers. A small clearing at the end of the stone track has been created and used over the years as a family camping spot. Few trees have been felled, and only some of the fallen trees have been cleared so the woodland has a nice wild feeling to it and is a great habitat for all sorts of wildlife.

The pine and some of the spruce seem to be of an age and size where they could be thinned to produce a modest quantity of timber to potentially be sold to a local sawmill, producing a small amount of tax-free income in the coming years.

Deer, badgers, foxes and rabbits are all regular visitors, as well as numerous species of birds that call the woodland home. The deep permeable sandy and coarse loamy soils support a thick undergrowth of plants, although less so under the spruce in the middle where the thick canopy restricts the sunlight enough to inhibit some of the plant species. Rhododendron bushes were planted years ago as game cover between the pine trees and the rest of the woodland, and along the southern boundary.

In summary, this is a lovely mixed woodland that has a wealth of opportunities for those looking for a slightly larger woodland which offers both amenity and commercial management opportunities.

If It Were Mine

I would thin the Scots pine in the east and the spruce in the middle. The smaller spruce trees under the mature oak in the west are not growing well but are restricting the growth of other plant species so I would fell these. There are plenty of younger hardwood trees growing throughout that would make great firewood, cutting, splitting and stacking these is a great activity!

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
