June was a good month for my little Woodland and I. It started off with approval comming through from the local planning authority to do some work over the next 5 year period including cutting up to 5m3 of firewood each quarter :-)
I then did some more work patching up the access track which, (at least until the next rainy season) seems to be in fairly good order now. Of course with all the paper work and access sorted I could then get started on filling my very empty wood store and testing out my new "Tirfor type" winch. So I felled a small variety of hung up, diseased and leaning treas and went home with a nice 4 and a half m3 of firewood that is slowly starting to dry in the sun.
Hard work but all good fun. Hopefully next month I'll get to fit some bat boxes but also need to spend some time opening up the internal track and footpath. With any luck, I may even get to see the Owl that I've heard a few times.
Adam.
