I haven't seen any Mark, but I can tell you that it would be nice to see
some U.K. foresters on this post. In fact, it would be nice to see
English-speaking foresters from all sides of the globe talking about
forestry.

I mean, why not? It's not exactly like it is a orange-apple discussion;
we're
all dedicated to the conservation of forested resources (or supposed to
be).

In particular, I'd like to see more from New Zealand, Austrailia, UK and
some more foresters from Canada. There are a few Canadians on here
from time to time, but most of them are not foresters - some of them are
though!

Bring your friends, MARK!!!!

Warm regards,

I am a forestry student from BC Canada, just about finished my first year.
I've been lurking here for about two years, since I decided I wanted to be a
forester.
I'm grateful for the interesting converstations here. Its helped me more
than once when participating in classroom discussions.

Lurking.

I'm a furniture maker in SW England, looking to buy a small (10 acre)
woodland.

Just curious about what such a lot would cost in the UK. 10 acres might be
small, but if you want it for your own enjoyment, you can stay busy there
forever- cutting, planting, pruning- trail building- building a pond, stone
walls - sculpture- wild sex and drug orgies- all kinds of fun stuff. G

Ignore Joe, he has cabin fever, but has good questions. What is land worth
in GB. And 10 acres can wear out a young man with Joes approach.

Hey, Joe, 70 degrees, beers cold, dead meat on the barby, how highs the
snow? BSEG But up to our butts in mud, nothing off the hard top for a
while. Got a logging job that buried the skidder before I shut em down.
Mills running off what is brought in that day. Looking at prices to rise
and move some of the stuff been holding.

More than it would have cost if I'd bought either of the two I should
have bought last year 8-(

One of them was 20 acres of mixed immature broadleaf woodland, in
South Wales. Sold for only £11K, but I found out about it two days too
late.

The other was 10 acres on the Wales / England border, and a truly
gorgeous location (an area I've liked for 10 years). There was some
recent felling and 6 acres of mature larch remaining. On offer for
£15K. Stupidly I decided against buying it, because my "plan" was to
find something where I could fell a few of the trees and use them for
my cabinetry work. I loved this site, but I just didn't want that much
"useless" larch.

Of course, since then I've been busy felling the abundant oaks and ash
on other people's woodland, and making larger projects from larch.

I've got 5' snow in the front yard where it all blew from the field in the
back. The woods around here all have 3-4'. Right now, at 5:40 AM, it's about
5 degrees F.

Cabin fever- absolutely! I still wonder why my Italian grandparents came to
frigid New England!

Glad to see you Brits still use "acres". You're probably the only people in
the world, other than we Yanks who still use such an intelligent measuring
system. G

Got over 4.5 inches of rain and 60 mph winds in the last 24 hours.
Wanna trade, Joe?

Because they had a "pizza business" to run (ha ha ha)
