 You may have noticed work going on in the wood recently. This work , involving thinning and felling, was being carried out on behalf of Tankersley Parish council to improve the wood.The effect of thinning is to encourage, a deeper and fuller crown and encourage longer life and greater stability for years to come Felling is undertaken in order to, allow light to reach more of the woodland floor and encourages natural regeneration and regrowth of woodland species. It provides space and light for new trees and also allows the removal of potentially hazardous trees.  For many years Broad Ings has lacked the benefit of having these works done. The Parish council sought professional advice and the necessary work has now been carried out. This will ensure that the stock stays healthy for years to come, it will also allow people to safely enjoy the woodland. It may look a little battered and damaged now, but it will return to a better condition as it regenerates. The wood has been sold for firewood for log burning stoves, and heating systems. |
