BEHIND THE SCENES
The early years of the Woodland Management Plan saw an intensive period of plantation conifer removal to encourage native species regeneration. The wood now supports two full time woodsmen and they produce carbon neutral woodfuel, whilst further enhancing the habitat potential.
Raydon Wood is an incredible showcase not just for wildlife but also for the benefits of active woodland management.
WOODLAND MANAGEMENT
Raydon Great Wood is an ancient 200 acre woodland near Hadleigh, Suffolk. We have created a long term management vision to develop a thriving hub of biodiversity.
We are delighted that the woodland now supports a plethora of flora and fauna and is visited by students completing research for their PhDs.
We work with the environment,
not simply taking from it.
Our focus is to develop our green strategy to ensure we are sustainable
NEDGING HALL ESTATE IMPACT
Creation of 12 new ponds since 2019
Planted 10,000 trees every year (2020 – 2024)
Over 500m of hedgerows have been planted in both 2022 and 2023
Overseen the restoration of ponds and ancient woodland in Raydon Wood
The countryside of Suffolk is something we feel incredibly proud of and want to look after for generations to come.
STORY BEHIND THE CHARCOAL
The wood is sourced through our woodland restoration and enhancement programme and is entirely sustainable.
Only timber that needs removing for natures benefit will be used; Non-indigenous and invasive species as well as areas of coppicing and thinning
