Why & How more-and-more Plantations are Converted into Mixed Woods for High-quality TIMBER &.. (CCF)

Today I’m visiting three forestry landowners in County Offaly, Ireland with Forester Manus Crowley. Their forests were originally planted as conventional spruce plantations, but the choice is now made to transform them into mixed permanent forests that produce high-quality sustainable timber & more.. with the management approaches of CCF (Continuous COver Forestry) instead of going with the conventional clear-felling management. Let’s learn all about this transformation process and why this choice has been made!?

    you should look for small oak saplings and put some kind of protection around it so they survive their youth long term you will get several benefits like -establishing a long living species -ground cover to long term transformation to woodland - acorns as food source for wildlife etc. but thats just if u want to interfere . like other commentors mentioned when shrubs and pioneer trees starting to inhabit they area the succession really pickes up speed but dont forget to manage your deer population ;)

    Probably the best video on forest management I’ve seen. As a forester who spent the first 22 years of my career working in Northern Ireland, and since 2019 in Southern England (where I grew up), it’s so heartening to see the great strides and innovation continuing to take place in Irish Forestry. I’ve seen first hand all the challenges you refer to, particularly deer here in S England: it is imperative that the deer population in Ireland is not allowed to reach anywhere close to the densities we have in England. There are also challenges of markets for the more varied range of species, although we have a very good local market for large Douglas and larch. I also own a 20ha plantation in Co Antrim that I planted in 2001, so I still maintain a direct interest in what’s going on in Irish forestry. I will watch your future videos with avid interest- this one was a joy to watch: brilliant photography and superb presentation!

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

    You can use permaculture principle of giving deer what they need in order to protect young shoots. For example - you could plant bunch of jerusalim artichoke around the young shoots and hopefully deer will eat artichoke. Damage to artichoke will produce hormones to stimulate growth. By the time seedling outgrows artichokes deep pressure won't bother it that much This works on small scale not sure if it's doable in example.

      I agree. The Forest Preserve of Cook County (Chicago area) bought up farms to preserve. They left the farm fields to "fill in". The result is acres of buckthorn, honeysuckle and box elder - shit forest. Should have farmed it until they could plant it with natives such as oak, and viburnum. I'm sure volunteer conservation groups and scouts would have helped them. Or they could have worked to restore native prairie land grasses.

    Don't forget that "natural regeneration" doesn't mean simply getting rid of fields. Those open areas are vital natural habitats all on their own. The "natural" way of things is to have a blend of open and covered. Wild fires would burn hundreds of acres, or at least dozens, and from there grew up the grasslands. Forest is horrible ecosystem for millions of things, tiny little bugs and ephemeral plants. Even then, there are many types of forest, and the fact that you have trees around doesn't mean you have a healthy ecosystem. By not burning the land with controlled fires, mimicking what nature does, you've lost gobs of stuff most people don't even realize.
