Description

The sale of Fox Covert represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a small area of newly replanted commercial mixed woodland located near Knockin, Shropshire. It is ideal for a purchaser looking for a long-term woodland investment.

The property forms part of a larger wood which fronts an unclassified road. It includes a timber shed that is an excellent ‘doer-upper’ project to create a useful storage space.

In 2018 Fox Covert was restocked at a rate of 2,500 trees per hectare after the felling of the previous crop which had reached maturity. The wood has been planted with Douglas fir and western red cedar in smaller numbers. Around the fringes planting includes a mixture of native broadleaves, notably oak, cherry and birch. The entire wood had been managed to encourage establishment - all of the trees are climatized to the site and growing with some vigour.

Emerging from the ground is an abundance of wildflowers including bluebells, dog’s mercury, anemone, red campion and celandine.

If It Were Mine

I would maintain the guards and the trees to ensure they grow to their best and develop good form. I would also renovate the wooden shack as a useful base to store tools/shelter from the weather.

Under the terms of the felling licence the new owner is required to maintain the young trees for a period of 10 years.

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