A Brexiteer and a Trump up it would seem. The beauty of ignorance is that you can say anything about anything and not feel like an idiot.

Monoculture plantations are one form of forestry.  Not the best, in fact likely the worst.  That is why I don't feel you have enlighten folks on best practices in managing a forest. Sorry!  Calling a mixed forest that isn't slash cut a garden actually appeals to me.  From now on I will call my 30 acre forest a forest garden.  Don't get me wrong I harvest from my forest but I do it surgically which is non destructive.  

Brexit and woodland management, what is the link?

Brexit is going to stop all his cushty EU woodland grants!

Great video, will definitely help me when managing our woodland for pheasant breeding and shooting, keep up the good work:)

Biggest load of boll**. I own a huge amount of woodland, never killed a thing and it is doing just fine. Don't listen to these people. There are always alternatives for people that do not like to kill beautiful, loving creatures.

Agreed, and a shaded under story is not dead

@Bill Astell thank you for saying this Bill!

Where i live the woodland os full of Bramble ehich o bery invasive all the area netween the trèes is full of it and even my dogs cant get through
Its a shame the loc Authority dont weed kill these areas so everyone can enjoy it

The bark beetle killed much of our soft wood. We struggle here because we can't compete against the free lumber that the Canadian government gave to the big forestry companies. Unfortunately corruption at the upper level makes things difficult for us small scale guy. I found a small niche selling firewood and other forest products and I do enjoy my work. My operation and labour of love can be seen on my channel.
