There is very little field work to do at this time of year but it is the time of year for tidying up dead trees and thinning out woodland. This track is blocked by a fallen tree which needs removing.
It's an ideal time for this kind of work as most trees and plants are dormant. There are quite a few piles of previously cut wood from last year.
Some will be brought in to fuel our large wood burner that heats both houses. Some will be left as habitant for small creatures and insects.
There quite a few interesting designs to be found.
Interesting to see such neat piles of the cut wood. Often when I am driving past or walking through some of the designated "heritage" woods, I see so many downed trees & think while I know it provides homes for the wild things, it would be good to clean up & use for wood source for homes that heat with wood.
