- As trees mature they tend to die back. In time its timber becomes stained, then rots. This is a natural feature of habitat regeneration.
- Careful harvesting of mature trees can thus have three distinct environmental benefits:
- First, harvesting them at the right time supports this natural regeneration process.
- Second, this removal can actually speed up the process of woodland renewal.
- Third, the management measures associated with harvesting are proven to increase biodiversity.
- Wherever Whippletree buys ‘at stump’, on that site we ensure that woodland’s stewardship meets Forestry Commission requirements – with harvested trees replaced by new seedlings and protective measures put in place.
- This is Whippletree’s environmental commitment
- And it ensures purchasing our timber products contributes to the conservation of our beautiful English countryside.
- Our production process is essentially green too. We largely rely naturally seasoning product, however, we can kiln dry too.
