Removing Sycamore trees to create an Ash grove in New England Wood, Cuckfield

For the past few weeks, the volunteers in New England Wood have been felling sycamore trees to create space for more valuable ash trees to thrive.  This Ash Grove looks good now and will just get better and better in the years to come.

The felled timber is sorted into future climbing bean poles.

Larger fellings are sawed into lengths for stacking and use as firewood in a year's time.

Above and below is how the glade appears on 29th August 2013.  There are plenty more sycamore trees to remove should that be decided.
