This wonderful stand of Douglas Fir is a plantation on an ancient woodland site, or PAWS. The continuous cover system of forestry here will benefit the site by slowly opening up the canopy and allowing the ground flora to recover. At the same time, the very large Douglas Fir trees should increase significantly in value as they grow. You can see from these shots that this is nothing like your bog-standard Sitka Spruce plantation, combining good commercial forestry, site care & restoration and wonderful amenity value. Well done Forest Enterprise.
