Description

Gouger Wood is a mid-rotation Scots pine woodland, part of a larger area known as Oak wood, and has been managed by the current owner for a number of years primarily for wildlife conservation and control.

Access into the wider woodland is taken directly off the main road and a soft, but well-formed track which should be accessible year-round for most vehicles brings you to Gouger Wood. The woodland is essentially flat and predominately made up of Scots pine with a buffer from the road of hazel, ash and birch which adds variety. The Scots pine is approximately 20-30 years old and now requires some management to thin out the trees and provide space for the remaining trees. There is a small pond in the southern part of the woodland

The surrounding area is a wonderful mix of deciduous woodland and conifer plantations managed by the Forestry Commission, and Gouger Wood sits as a little island in the middle. Despite being quite close to the road, this is a very quiet and secluded part of the countryside and ideal for those looking for some serenity under a tree canopy.

This woodland is ideal for someone looking for woodland to actively manage the trees and help them grow on, perhaps someone with a chainsaw at home just waiting to exercise their skills.


If It Were Mine

I would look to carry out a light thinning of the Scots pine, as this will help improve the remaining trees and ensure they grow bigger and healthier. I would stack them and use either for homemade fence posts, or a bit of firewood.

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