Thinning Woodland in Ilfracombe North Devon

Our team was called in to carry out some selective thinning on a small woodland in Ilfracombe.

The aim was to thin the tree canopy in order to maximise the amount of sunlight hitting the forest floor. This would then aid the growth of plants at ground level.

An effective management plan is key to the long-term health of any woodland, no matter how big or small.

It not only improves the quality of the timber but also promotes the growth of a wide variety of ferns, grasses and woodland flowers, whilst also encouraging a wider range of wildlife.
