Horse logging Forwarder – Langton West Wood
Description
DOR23-175
Project Description

Dorset Horselogging are working with National Trust to extract timber, to be used in coppice products and charcoal, as part of a 5 year restoration of hazel coppice and ride widening in this very wet and sensitive woodland. Heavy machinery cannot be used here, as it would impact the woodland floor, and negatively affect the biodiversity of the woodland. FiPL has funded the purchase of a horse drawn timber forwarder that will minimize the impacts of operations.
