Description

Brony Wood is a block of maturing woodland on level ground with significant potential. The main tree species are ash and sycamore but you will also find birch, oak, beech, elm, hazel and hawthorn. The vast majority of the trees are estimated to be around 20 years old but walking through the block you will find some mature oak, sycamore and beech. The closed canopy is dominated by the pole stage ash and sycamore which present the opportunity to produce some very good-sized firewood that would be easy to harvest and use.

The woodland floor beneath the trees is unencumbered and easy to walk with a very light covering of flora. In spring there are a variety of wildflowers including primroses, violets, early purple orchid and red campion, followed by dog’s mercury with grasses on the minor tracks.

Brony Wood is rich with wildlife including hares and squirrels - the wood is a fantastic habitat for common birds and the characteristic call of the buzzards is often heard overhead. Occasionally you may even get a glimpse of roe and muntjac deer wandering through!

The soils are sandy loam and free draining with moderate fertility. At a metre depth there is a bed of loose limestone.

Access to Brony Wood is through a locked forest barrier from a hard-stoned private track. The forest track inside the wood is of soft formation but is compacted and has been used extensively to manage the wood.

There is some evidence of previous hazel coppicing which the present owners have begun to re-establish, providing local hedge layers with stakes and binders.  


If It Were Mine

I would utilise the ride that passes along the south and west boundary to open pockets in the wood where I could thin 40% of the trees, leaving a select few that have good form and prospect. I would select oak, beech and sycamore stems to grow on further leaving a buffer of more dense trees to the east and gradually work through the woodland.

A small clearing would be ideal for camping when undertaking the work, making a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle – creating memories with the kids.

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