Spring Habitat Impact Assessments

We’ve been busy over the last few weeks compiling the Habitat Impact Assessments. We use various techniques depending on the foresters requirement. The Deer Initiative Habitat Impact Assessment gives us a good understanding of the activity and impact in established and mixed woodland and can be tailored toward the requirements of the Woodland Management Plan. The Nearest Neighbour technique gives us a percentage level of damage against certain criteria which is very useful for the forester to gauge the impact on young commercial tree crops. The photos below are examples of ones we include in our written reports.
