Sustainable Practices in Low Impact Forestry
At Kernow Horse Logging we are committed to implementing low impact forestry practices that prioritize the health and sustainability of our woodlands. Our approach is designed to maintain ecological balance, promote biodiversity, and ensure long-term productivity of our forests in Cornwall and the South West.
First Thinnings
First thinnings are an essential part of our forest management strategy. This process involves selectively removing certain trees in the early stages of a woodland's development. By doing so, we reduce competition for resources among the remaining trees, allowing them to grow stronger and healthier. First thinnings not only improve the quality of the forest stand but also enhance its resilience to pests, diseases, and climate change.
Harvesting Saw Logs
Harvesting saw logs is another crucial aspect of our sustainable forestry operations. We carefully plan and execute the extraction of mature trees to provide high-quality timber for various uses. Our qualified and experienced chainsaw operators ensure that the harvesting process is carried out safely and efficiently. Our methods are designed to minimize environmental impact, ensuring that the forest ecosystem remains intact and continues to thrive. By prioritizing selective harvesting and leaving behind a diverse range of tree species, we support the regeneration of the forest and maintain its ecological integrity.
Cornwall and the South West
Our commitment to low impact forestry is particularly important in the rich and diverse landscapes of Cornwall and the South West. These regions are home to some of the most beautiful and biodiverse woodlands in the UK. By adopting sustainable practices, we aim to protect these natural treasures for future generations while providing valuable resources for today’s needs. Our efforts in these areas reflect our dedication to balancing economic viability with environmental stewardship.
