UK Tree Health Monitoring Programme
We are pleased to be a participant in a UK-wide tree health program run by Forest Research, specifically to monitor the spread of a significant beetle pest that targets spruce trees - eight-toothed spruce bark beetle [Ips typographus].​
In November 2025 we were quoted in a section of the Forest Research web site discussing the national monitoring project and also recorded a short video discussing our woodland and experience of being a monitoring site.

Natural Hedgelaying Stakes
We received some great feedback from Mike Dudding Hedgelaying who purchased some natural hedge laying stakes from us for a project at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust
The stakes were made from last season’s timber harvested from our woodlands by Forestry & Arboricultural students at Askham Bryan College (York)
