What happens to the felled trees?
Some felled trees will be left in the woodland to provide valuable habitat for invertebrates, fungi, mosses and lichen. This is important as the biodiversity of the woodland will increase as a result. Felled trees can be processed into utilisable products for a variety of uses. Smaller broadleaf timber can be used for wood chips in wood fuel heating systems or more generally for firewood or charcoal production.
