@Forest2Furnitur We’re so focused on straight timber nowadays, I love returning to forests planted for the navy, you often see such a variety of shapes in mature timber. Lovely bit of cultural history there

Look at this oak! #thicktrunktuesday

Nearly went out with a bang! Unexploded ordnance is something you don’t expect to meet during forestry operations! 🌳

[MR @Reeves__Leaves]

@lwhemmings I agree, there are lot of valid silvicultural practices that are being restricted. It our jobs as foresters to highlight previous successes and showcase to the powers that be that there is more than one way to establish a forest 🌳

What is a broadleaf woodland? When do we apply the 80 20 percent ratio. What if I told you this woodland was once a 50/50 conifer broadleaf mix? 1/2

This weekend involved the most fires I’ve seen in such a short space of time. We all dug in and worked around the clock to keep these fires down. Near the end of my shift this little guy poked his head out from where he was burrowed. Instantly reminded me of why I do this job

The hot and dry weather is increasing the risk of wildfires over the next few days across England.

Follow advice from our wildfire expert, Rob Gazzard, to protect our forests and woodlands and the surrounding countryside.

#BeWildfireAware this weekend.

Had a great day yesterday with @ForestryEngland learning about a new 119 hectare planting site. Modern day forestry requires input from so many sources. This is not the monocultures of the past. This multi-objective forestry, for the people,environment and the industry 🌳

The Pearl-bordered Fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne) is one of the fastest declining #butterflies in the UK & the #NewForest is one of the last strongholds in south-east England. 🦋

@lwhemmings I love my job and I love the area I work in. It’s an incredibly frustrating situation to be, but one that is very unlikely to change. Public forestry will feel the effects for years to come. 2/2

@lwhemmings As a person who’s looking to move into a beat manager position in the near future, it’s increasing becoming a choice I cannot afford to make. It’s either I sacrifice the chance of getting a mortgage/life options or moving to the private sector to support these aspirations 1/2

@Captain_Mogz @dahyunscalp @treker402 I’ll think I’ll stick with my chainsaw tbh

[MR @Reeves__Leaves]

A fantastic course. We are extremely lucky to have @essexforester and @WildfireTacAd leading this training. Their depth of expertise and knowledge is a credit to these modules! Understanding best practises from a worldwide perspective has improved the way we’ll burn in the future

[Rob Gazzard @essexforester]

Another @LantraUK accredited #PrescribedFireManager training module being delivered to @ForestryEngland colleagues in @EngNewForest & @DorsetForests using the amazing @NewForestNPA
as our assessment site.

Thanks to @WildfireTacAd and @DefraGovUK

@morethanmum @euroak @royal_forestry @ForestryComm @lwhemmings @WoollyMaggot Historically we used asulox, but I’ve tried bracken rolling with some success, it seems more successful at repressing next years growth then mowing/flailing it. Timing is critical, early in the season (as soon as it hits knee height) seems to work best! 2/2
