Tree Survey 2021

 Tree Survey 2021 

Planed Start October 2021

We hope to start a Tree Survey soon counting & Measuring the Oak Standards in Narrows Wood.
This Survey is to see how many Standards we have in the Woodland & to help Estimate there age.
Once we have established our Oak Standards then, we will move on to checking out our Under Story Trees for Coppicing. 



100 green tags & Nails have been ordered for this Project. 
So that we can mark our Oak trees as we Survey them and add them to our Tree inventory Book.

While Surveying our Oak Trees we will also look out for acute-oak-decline Disease in our Trees. 

We may also look at our Ash trees in 2022 Between July - Sept to check out there Health Looking for Ash Dieback and report any resilient trees too the Living Ash Project. https://livingashproject.org.uk/reportatree/

Hopefully this Weekend John will be able to continue with the tree survey.
We have a new piece of equipment for Tree Surveying now. A Clinometer for working out the Hight of the trees. Which will come in handy at a later stage of surveying the trees. Currently we are just logging the Oaks DBH and Age for our Records.

April 2022

Oak tree Survey is still on going adding trees measured to Treezilla to record the benefit to the environment in carbon storage.This gives some Economic value to the Trees without the value of the timber itself . https://treezilla.org/ 
37 of our Oaks add to the Treezilla app at the moment. 
This will be updated as we continue to Survey or Tree Stock at Narrows Wood.

Ecosystem Benefits to the Welsh Economy so far below!

Ecosystem Services

Trees measured so far:-
37 Oak trees.

Avoided Runoff 10 m3/year  £13


Carbon Dioxide Stored 16,705 kg to date £1,052


Water Intercepted 63 m3/year £81


Air Quality Improved 1,317 g/year £37


Giving a Total Annual Saving of  £1,217 to the Environment.

  We at Narrows Wood have been selected as Stewardship Scientists in a New Collaborative research project, with Forest Scientists in the UK from Forest Research & The Sylva foundation!  These projects are to Study the Effects of Climate Change & how to  improve Species suitability for Narrows Wood as part of our Management Program. Project 1 - Ecological Site Classification. Project 2 - Growth 04/06/23  6 Girth bands now installed on site to monitor the Sessile Oak Tree Growth at our woodland. The installation of the Girth bands will allow us to monitor the Growth and health of our wood collecting Data to relay back to Forest Research Scientists at Forest Lab.

2023 Autumn Tree Planting

Image
 2023 Autumn Tree Planting Tree Planting Season is here! This October we are Planing to Plant 255 new trees at our Woodland. 180 Trees to improve our Trackside Hedgerows & to replace the Beech trees that failed to grow along our woodland edge. We will be planting 30 blackthorn, 20 dog rose, 30 crab apple, 30 goat willow, 30 rowan & 40 Hawthorn. This will hopefully help improve the biodiversity of our woodland, creating corridors for wildlife between the farmland and the woodland. As well as the new Hedgerow planting we have also planed to install new coppice planting within our woodland giving Us a crop of new Hazel coppice & Sweet Chestnut Coppice. Last year we experimented with the planting of 5 Sweet Chestnut trees and 3 have survived giving Us confidence in expanding our Experimental crop of Sweet Chestnut planting. This year we plan to plant another 15 within our woodland. Sweet Chestnut take a long time before they will produce nuts, around 25 years before they start

Bat Roost Project

Image
 Bat Roost Project We will be installing 3 Bat Boxes on some of our Sessile Oak trees to provide some additional roosting spots around our Woodland. There are currently many old oak trees around our wood with cracks, holes & crevice's that may provide roost spots for bats. By providing additional man made boxes it is hoped that we can add additional places to the Natural environment for roosting bats. Once we have installed the boxes they will be permanently in stalled and not touched as Bats are legally protected by law. We will be able to monitor our boxes via Non-invasive means by watching with night vision binoculars bats coming in and out of the roost. By using bat detectors & also via Trail cams placed on Opposite trees. All these methods are Non intrusive and valuable way of monitoring bats. Please return for project Updates. 30/06/23 Added 2 extra holes in the bottom board for extra security for fitting to trees.  For more information on Bats visit    https://www.ba
