Description

Situated in semi-rural east Hampshire and fringing the village of Headley Down, Hazel Wood forms part of a larger forest and was historically part of the estate known as the Land of Nod. It is accessed along a private tarmac drive and a woodland track. 

Located over mildly undulating sandy loamy soils, the mature canopy to the west for the most part comprises Scots pine along with birch, sweet chestnut, Lawson cypress, beech, and rowan. The eastern side is a blend of large sweet chestnut coppice, oak, rowan, birch, and ash - the sweet chestnut coppice could undoubtedly produce a modest domestic fuel supply. 

The pine could be gently thinned with resultant yields used to produce a range of forest products – perhaps fence posts or veneer. The residual pine stems could go on to create some good sawlogs in the future. In the shrub layer below you will find hazel coppice, holly, hawthorn, and areas of laurel.

Towards the south is a clearing that might make a nice secluded spot to hone one’s bushcraft skills.  In the southeast corner there is a small glade that would be perfect for camping once mowed. An interesting hollow can be found near the north, perhaps hinting at historical management.

The mammal population includes roe, muntjac and fallow deer, badger, hare, wood mouse and fox. Owl, coal tit, blackbird, green woodpecker, lesser redpoll and lots of harmonious songsters have all been identified at this woodland.

If It Were Mine

I would spend a day brush-cutting the open area in the southeast corner to create a discreet camping spot. I would consider writing a simple management plan for the woodland, perhaps focusing on future-proofing and generating low-volume domestic timber produce.  Building a tool store could be a project to make use of any pine removed from the woodland. 

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