This harvesting site in North East Powys underwent a timber operations management check with Tilhill Forestry's Jay Williams and Emyr Parker.

The site consists of Scots pine, Noble fir, Sitka spruce and Japanese Larch which make for lots of great quality logs.

A Giant has landed! 💪

Our newest machine, the Giant, has hit the ground in the Scottish Borders and is already making light work of heavy loads!

With its massive load capacity, smooth handling, and legendary durability, this forwarder is built for the toughest terrain. When it comes to shifting timber efficiently, the Giant lives up to its name!

This is a #woodland creation project near Middlesborough is being funded by Trees on Tees and is a former landfill site which was restored in the 1970s.

The site has been mounded using a continuous mounder by a local contractor to give the #trees the best chance of getting up and away from vegetation. This will make it easier to mow, maintain and encourage the woodland to flourish.

This woodland creation is made up of native broadleaves and Scots pine with the use of #biodegradable tree shelters.

Our North & Central England team recently met with the Head of National Trust and their Central teams to discuss the Lunt Woodland creation project. Tilhill Forestry has been awarded the contract to establish and maintain new woodlands across 78 hectares of previously unused farmland near Sefton, Liverpool.
