Description

This 34.4-acre block of commercial conifer forestry in the Yorkshire Dales offers an excellent opportunity for immediate timber returns. The woodland, mostly consisting of Sitka Spruce, is approximately 45 years old and has a uniform age and structure, with straight clean stems throughout. The trees are now reaching maturity, making it suitable for harvesting timber, either on a clear fell basis or selectively felling groups to establish a structural mosaic. The site has few constraints to successful harvesting, with no steep or soft ground, proximity to a public highway, and no overhead wires. The land has proven to be good tree-growing ground, making it an ideal location for a second rotation of a commercial timber species or re-stocking with native broadleaf species, providing increased biodiversity and amenity benefits. Located near the market town of Hawes and Kirkby Lonsdale, the woodland is easily accessible via the B6255 and Philpin Lane.
