A productive commercial woodland that is advanced in restructuring and remains capable of producing further timber income. The site is technically excellent for growing commercial timber.
Bicton Wood West is a classic lowland ex-Forestry Commission
peninsular woodland. Squashed between Bodmin Moor and the
highly populated Plymouth, Liskeard, Callington and Tavistock
towns, this part of east Cornwall with its characteristic rolling countryside and deep sheltered riverine valleys is known for providing warm, wet and fertile sites perfect for growing commercial woodland. Bicton Wood West is no exception being a rich, well drained site with deep brown earth soils north-east facing on a relatively gentle slope. The wood is easily workable with modern forest machinery and past timber extraction has proven the access.
xx
At the present time the wood is nearing the end of its initial
restructuring phase with nearly all of the mature timber felled and with young crops at various stages. Species include Sitka spruce, western hemlock , Douglas fir and Norway spruce. The majority of the replanted conifer crops are performing well and most will achieve a productive future. Modest further
investment to the 2020 crops will ensure that the property
remains highly commercial and is able to produce future income.
xx
A stocking schedule is available from the Selling Agents upon
request.
xx
Along with young conifer crops this ancient woodland also has a significant area of mature broadleaves which includes a large area of beech and ash that might be able to produce intermittent volumes of firewood for the local market. This is an important feature in a mixed commercial woodland as in this part of the world locally marketed firewood production rivals softwood timber prices per cubic metre.
xx
It was noted that the woodland will be a riot of colour when the bluebells come out in late April. These seemed to be nearly everywhere.
xx
The woodland is classified as a Plantation on an Ancient
Woodland Site (PAWS).
