We are writing to let you know that we will soon be starting timber harvesting work at Robin Wood, Ticknall. We expect to start working around 15th July.
As an organisation, Forestry England supply nearly half of all homegrown timber in England, in our work caring for the nation’s forests.
The trees we are harvesting at Robin Wood were planted between 1961 and 1970 to boost the nation’s timber reserves. Over the years they have been gradually thinned and the remaining trees have now reached the stage where they are ready to be felled. As each crop reaches maturity, small clearfells take place and the resulting timber sent to UK industry. This makes way to allow us to plant hardwood species and gradually transform the woodland back to a predominantly native broadleaf woodland.
During this upcoming cycle of tree felling, 6,743 tonnes of timber will removed from Robin Wood. This will go on to make many products, from construction material to kitchen cabinets, firewood to paper. Every bit of wood is utilised.
Robin Wood will still be open to the public; however, diversions and temporary trail closures may be in place where required by the timber harvesting contractors- we ask that all visitors follow safety signage and barriers at all times during their visits. We’ve also attached a map of the entire works area for reference, with works areas highlighted in green.
There is more information about how Forestry England manage the nation’s forests, now and for the future at https://www.forestryengland.uk/managing-forests
We would be grateful if you would be able to share this information through your news channels. We understand that residents may not be familiar with sustainable forest management and are keen to explain how this planned work supports the long-term health and resilience of the forest. Please let us know if we can help by providing any more information.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or refer queries from residents to info_nationalforest@forestryengland.uk
