An opportunity to own one of the premier productive oak woodlands in the UK.  The amount of mature timber ready for harvest and the condition of naturally regenerating saplings is inspiring.
Bell Coppice is an excellent example of Wyre forest oak
production with all the nature benefits that come with that
species. The forest is also a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific
Interest) and NNR (National Nature Reserve) which has
been closely supervised and funded to some extent by
Natural England. The wood is also classified as Ancient
Woodland.
xx
A visitor to the forest will immediately notice a large amount
of deer fencing. These fences have been erected to exclude
deer from areas within the forest to protect the trees from
browsing and help to facilitate oak natural regeneration. The
approximate location of the fences is shown on the sale plan.
xx
The effect of this fencing is really noticeable inside the
exclusion areas with plenty of oak regeneration at various
stages of development that have not been browsed. These
fences, together with a strong deer management ethos, has
also led to good regeneration outside the fenced areas.
There has been a vigilant and constant control of squirrels
within Bell Coppice. It would appear squirrel numbers have
fallen significantly and damage to young trees 10 to 40 years
of age has been reduced.
xx
There is a small stream that runs through the centre of the
woods, running within and outside of the deer
compartments. The owners have constructed over twenty
"natural flood management dams". The stream has not been
known to run dry.
xx
In 1972 the owners purchased from the British Railways
Board a 9 acre linear stretch of former railway line which
runs the entire length of the northern boundary. An
invaluable asset for access and extraction.
