Whats happening to the forestry plantations in the Alport Valley?

0

The plantation ( 500,000 trees, planted in 1928) opposite Alport Castles is being felled by the National Trust (now owners) and the Forestry Commission over a 40 year period; (i.e. there will not be an intensive extraction/ saw milling operation) Replanting, in conjunction with the National Trust & various other bodies, will be with a variety of deciduous trees : oak, birch, rowan, & holly which are probably the natural “climax” tree community. The result will be a much better environment for wild life. The CPRE are keen for something similar to be done with the plantations below Lockerbrook.
