Hell of a lot of thinning going on throughout Vinney Ridge enclosure at the moment, all sorts of sizes and tree species too. The forestry tracks are lined with stacked timber, stacks which have grown every time I pass. From good sized larch (Larix decidua) and I think Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), and a handful of Oak (Quercus) and Beech (Fagus sylvatica), right down to much younger and therefore much smaller Silver Birch (Betula pendula) and Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris). As you'd imagine the character of the stands is totally changed in the thinning process. I look forward to seeing, and wandering, the results.
