Garth Coppice is a stunning woodland & wildlife habitat on the Shropshire Powys border, currently being felled by @TilhillForestry and landowner.

Although the woodland heart may have been ripped out of #GarthCoppice by recent felling, the wood still has the ability to stun and amaze when the light’s right. Enjoy our #SlowTV moment. @WoodlandTrust @Geraint00951658 @CoedCadw @Natures_Voice @Natures_Voice @@ExplorerDale

Despite felling activity at #GarthCoppice which has massively reduced the amount of tree cover, the birds here still manage to put on one hell of a dawn chorus #LetNatureSing. @Natures_Voice @WoodlandTrust @CoedCadw @ShropsWildlife @RSPBEngland @CdiffGreenpeace

This shot is of the left hand bank of #GarthCoppice as you enter from the Eastern Gateway. It shows the sheer extent of the deciduous cover in the wood that supports wide and varied bird life . @WoodlandTrust @CoedCadw @Natures_Voice @ExplorerDale @SaveWooltonWood

As #GarthCoppice starts it long post felling journey to recovery, we thought we’d share some #GreenShootsOfHope. A handful of the many types of wildflower currently emerging across the wood @WoodlandTrust @CoedCadw @ShropBotany @ShropsWildlife @wildflower_hour @Britnatureguide

Sounds of the night part 2 the Tawny Owl continues to echo across #GarthCoppice. @Natures_Voice @morris_dewi @ExplorerDale @ElaineCox11

Sounds of the night. A Tawny Owl (Strix Aluco) calls from #GarthCoppice @Natures_Voice @CoedCadw @WoodlandTrust @ShropBotany @ShropsWildlife @ShropshireBAP

#LetNatureSing. The birds of #GarthCoppice put on a spectacular dawn chorus and have seemingly returned despite recent felling work. Turn up the volume and enjoy. @Natures_Voice @WoodlandTrust @CoedCadw @ShropshireBAP @sosbirds

@CoedCadw @TilhillForestry @WoodlandTrust @ShropBotany @Natures_Voice @ExplorerDale @ShropshireBAP Crop matured but wood had been neglected and not managed for decades and has become an amazing mixed wood habitat for flora and fauna

These images of #GarthCoppice show how it has utterly changed beyond recognition as a result of felling by @TilhillForestry @CoedCadw @WoodlandTrust @ShropBotany @Natures_Voice @ExplorerDale @ShropshireBAP

A magnificent old wild cherry marks the edge of the protected area of conifers in #GarthCoppice. This end of wood is home to nesting Goshawks, Buzzards, Tawny Owls and many other species @Natures_Voice @morris_dewi @ShropshireBAP @CoedCadw @WoodlandTrust @ShropBotany

@EarthSeaTreeSp1 Neither. Plain straightforward commercial harvesting of a small mixed woodland

This view shows the old heart of #GarthCoppice which has been felled but also shows the stands of deciduous we’ve managed to preserve.
