DESPITE the difficulties brought about by COVID-19 and the uncertainty over Brexit, forestry has remained strong, meaning it’s been a busy winter for the D&R forestry team; felling licences, harvesting, woodland creation applications, restocking, new tree planting and registering carbon projects. Rob Cleaver, forestry manager at Davidson & Robertson says This winter they ve harvested sites up to 20 hectares and planted sites up to nearly 50 hectares, with many smaller sites down to a couple of hectares requiring the same care and attention. As you would expect, given the tree planting targets shouted about by all political parties, the government commitment to carbon net zero, the increase in ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) corporate objectives and the potential returns from forestry investment, tree planting rates are on the up.
