Woodland Management

Some of the team have been working on the woodland area between the 9^th green and 10^th tees recently.

This is an area that was recommended by our Arboriculture Consultant, for thinning out and replanting.

They have been removing some of the invasive sycamore, which are in extremely poor condition and elderberry trees.

By removing some of the poor and suppressed trees will allow the more dominant specimens to develop and mature.

This type of selective thinning will also open up small areas and encourage natural regeneration of tree species and create opportunities for re-planting.  

Once thinning has been completed we will replant with more long-term species, such as oak, beech, birch and ash.

Thinning out the area between the 9th green and 10th tees

Managing the woodland areas in this way will ensure that these areas retain their woodland cover and will therefore be enjoyed by future generations.
