Some scrub clearance trials have been taking place recently in
the Green Belt area of Thorne Moor. These small-scale works are
designed to test the economics of timber extraction and marketing
of the stock of birch trees on the Moors as funding for this
element of the project is still being sought.
If you would like to offer any suggestions as to how this can be
done efficiently and/or profitably, please feel free to contact the
Project Officer, Darren Whitaker, who is running these
trials.
