Brash will be stacked to reduce the number of unofficial paths across the sites. Approximately 5% of trees to be felled will be "monolithed" to create standing deadwood with coronet cuts to replicate natural branch tears, these trees will be located away from footpaths and public access. The works in these woodlands will be under considerable scrutiny from the public, therefore allowances should be made for time to speak with members of the public and ensure health and safety measures are adhered to. The regeneration felling will require restocking at 1600 stems per hectare, with the following species mix and guarded using non plastic tree shelters: • 30% Hornbeam • 30% Pedunculate Oak • 10% Silver Birch (Nurse crop) • 10% Common Alder (Nurse crop) • 10% Hazel • 5% Crab Apple • 5% Wild Service Tree The contract duration will be 3 years, start and end dates subject to the agreement of both parties. ## CPV classification Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/6af28641-8137-4b96-a3fe-a7d8e3b54fb4) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
