A hectare of agricultural land at the top of a southwest slope became available after the wheat harvest. Its elevation was 150 metres and was basically clay with flint over chalk.
Walter Start is at the top of the tree professionally and in December 2003, to mark 50 years managing the Froyle woodlands and 56 years in the forestry industry…
I have always loved the countryside, so why not try and improve it by putting something back? Perhaps I could, at the same time, make an investment for future generations of my family.
Walter Start is delighted with progress in the Woodland Heritage sponsored wood, which he planted in November 2003 (and which was reported extensively in last year’s journal)
This interesting collection of coniferous and broadleaved trees is situated about 2.5km from the nearest public road; a distinct disincentive to visit!
