Cannock Chase Forestry:
“Building resilient forests for the future isn’t something that happens overnight – it’s a journey we’ve been on for more than 15 years.
As the climate changes and new pests and diseases emerge, we knew traditional forestry methods wouldn’t be enough. So, we pioneered a new approach: experimenting with innovative harvesting techniques, diverse planting strategies, and introducing tree species better suited to tomorrow’s conditions.
Today, you can see the results taking shape. We’re transforming Corsican Pine plantations into vibrant woodlands where no single species makes up more than 20% of the forest – creating healthier, more resilient ecosystems while maintaining continuous forest cover.
This work takes time – trees grow slowly, and every site has unique light, soil, and weather challenges. But we’re well on the way. Around Cannock Chase Forest, you’ll already spot species featured in the recently published “Forestry England’s Tree Species for the Future” list.
Our resilient forests mean thriving wildlife, sustainable home-grown timber, and landscapes that can adapt to a changing world. And we’re proud to lead the way”.
