Cleared Oak Trees

Oak trees love light. More sun means stronger growth and increases the tree’s chances of living a long life. To help the crowded oaks, we have chopped down some of the trees around them. Hopefully, this will help them thrive and live to be 500 years old. They are now about 200 years old.

What’s more, old, sunlit oaks are needed to provide a home for hundreds of species of insects, lichens and fungi, many of which are endangered. Oak is also economically valuable to us humans. The wood fetches good prices for use in furniture and flooring.
