- A new season, and felling trees to open up a area of woodland ready for replanting with new species, and creating light for wild flowers and regenerating shrubs and trees.
This is not a "How to" video, but a video documenting my progress in learning how to manage a small woodland. This way I can see where I go wrong!
Thanks for watching.

You're felling like a pro now Steve, good job to let in more light for the woodland plants just stay on top of the brambles come Spring. It's nice that you're leaving habitat piles and not burning the brush like a lot of people do.
I'm getting more confident with the saw, still a way to go. I do like the thought of making good habitats for wildlife, more mice equals more birds of prey and a healthier woodland. Look after the small things and the big things should follow. Thanks for watching, Steve.
Nice to see your still around. Woodland looking better, plenty of light able to reach the floor. Should be good for the spring.
Been busy this last month or 2. Still have to chop some wood up. Looking forward to spring now.
It is interesting to see how you are managing your wood Steve. It must be so nice having your own private wood . Thank you for sharing it wit us in these videos :D Teddy
Nice, but hard work. Looking forward to the spring when I see all the fruits of my labour. Cheers, Steve.
It will not be long now Steve there are signs of spring bulbs all over already this year :D
Great to get an update on your woods stewardship; it's a great example for others. Your chainsaw prowess is definitely growing, too. As a day's work, that beats most "workout" programs. Maybe time to rename the channel to Industrious Veggie! Really looking forward to seeing your woods green up in the wake of your thinning.
As a "professional pen pusher" I have finally found out what a hard days work really is! But it does leave you feeling satisfyingly tired.
Yes, I too am looking forward to seeing what spring brings, with replanting and regrowth. Thanks, Steve.
I love the idea of the Hazel coppice, maybe look into small scale traditional charcoal burning in the future? Looking forward to seeing if more bluebells appear now they have that extra light, you want to keep on top of the brambles in the clearing though or they'll soon take over.
The big hazel are spread about the Wood, the place I thinned is the only area I can give over to hazel coppice, it's small but I want to try hazel pleaching and replanting more.
I suspect the wood has a long way to go steve - I mean your plans for it. But what we're seeing thus far is real progress. Good going mate. Mark
Hi Mark. Still a way to go. I don't want to change it too much. Replanting in the spring, and bramble clearing.
Nice video. Is the woodland yours, if it is you have a fantastic playground. Thanks for the video.
Yes the woodland is mine. A small plot in a much bigger woodland. I'm trying to leave it in a better place, thinning and introducing new native species.
You are lucky , the land is flat and you haven’t got total ash die back killing all your trees. Mine is devastated by the disease and they are falling before I get to them. Brambles taking over and stopping me clearing them.
@@GWAYGWAY1 Ash die back is getting bad here also, I'm felling the ones near paths, and leaving the rest. I will be replanting with new species in the spring.
word watch out for ticks
Fortunately I Havent seen any ticks here. I have in other woodlands, even been bitten but fortunately no lyme disease.
