Green wood

There's a lot of forestry going on about the forest at the moment. Some mature blocks are being clear felled, some previously cleared blocks replanted and there's a lot of thinning happening too; here juvenile Beech have been removed from amongst their more senior Oak. Our forests are unimaginatively managed, or at least could be managed more productively. Imagine if we managed and utilized our forests to their fullest as a huge diverse sustainable resource, if we used traditional skills to produce traditional and contemporary products for a modern world. A huge amount of things can be made of wood.
