Forestry operations stop Signs and Barrier
An area of ancient woodland in north Norfolk has been closed for tree felling, as part of an effort to restore the area to native 'broadleaf' trees.
The car park and section of Bacton Woods, a 113-hectare site east of North Walsham, are off limits to the public from Monday, March 15 for the works.
North Norfolk District Council said the area where trees were being felled had been identified as a "plantation on ancient woodland site" populated by dark, heavily seeding western hemlock trees. The better quality logs will go into sawn wood products for construction or fencing, while the poorer quality ones will go into “chip” this will be used to form reconstituted wood products e.g. chipboard or possibly go for biomass depending on national demand. Fortunately modern sawmilling is incredibly efficient so very little is wasted.
