Description

Located a short distance from Ross-on-Wye, in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,  Chant Wood is found at the heart of a larger forested woodland known as Coldborough Park. It offers a significant stand of mature Douglas fir with peripheral mature broadleaves.

Chant Wood is recognised as an Ancient Woodland indicating the land has been under continuous tree cover since at least 1600 AD but the former tree cover was replaced with conifer 45 years ago. The condition of these trees show their undeniable commercial capacity favouring the fertile soils. We estimate there to be around 500 tonnes of Douglas fir timber that could potentially be harvested. This timber is regarded as one of the finest and most durable and carries a healthy market price.

The broadleaved trees consist of mature oak, ash and sycamore with a developing understory in the open areas that include ash, sycamore, hazel and cherry.

Access is excellent being located immediately off the A449 via a well-made hard-surfaced stone track. A spur then leads further in and flanks the southern boundary.

The lay of the land is gently sloping down to the east and features a seasonal stream taking away excess water. The area has a private feel and you are unlikely to meet anyone, except other woodland owners. 

There is a rich and varied habitat supporting a wide variety of fauna. Woodland songbirds abound, we also noted ravens, roe deer and buzzards as well as the tell-tale signs of badgers and foxes. Other residents include woodpeckers, tawny owls and goldcrests.

If It Were Mine

I would consider felling a small group of trees on the leading edge and restocking, or taking a very light approach, thinning some of the trees making use of the Forestry Commission thinning licence that is in place. I would encourage any regenerating trees with a little TLC by adding a shelter and a stake.

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