The birch, not the blonde....... well........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Planting schemes are long investment .You won’t get much canopy under ten years if it’s broad-leaved saplings .If it’s just roe you won’t have to worry about fencing ,just tree guards .Roe arnt a herd animal and are predominantly grazers rather than browsers . Letting light in is THE main catalyst for regeneration .Saplings otherwise stunted will bloom and ground cover will appear within 3 years . There's an option to let a contractor in if I remember rightly, they come in mark whichever trees they want to take, then if you're happy to go ahead they come in with the team and machinery etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
