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.
