Larch Wood

Peter & Sarah FitzGerald have decided to fell the majority of the larch in the small wood immediately above Pen Mill Farm.
They are nearly 90 years old and were planted as a nurse crop to protect the young oak, which they have been holding back for some years.

From SSARG

I liked the way you had involved the owners of the different sites, and, not least, the clear engagement they all had with the history of their land.

And I certainly can't remember an outing where we have been entertained anything like as well: coffee and biscuits, a…
