Nicholsons Forestry team are currently managing the removal of poplars and willows from a riverside location on one of our clients' estates. The work is being done in consultation with the Environment Agency in order to reduce the risk of flooding in the area. The removal of the poplar plantations is also helping to restore the semi-natural landscape of an Enviornmentally Sensitive Area.
It is hoped that some of the cricket bat willows (Salix alba 'Coerulea') may indeed be sold to make cricket bats, but most of the timber is unfortunately of relatively poor quality and will therefore be chipped and used to generate heat and power.
