Description
The woodland was planted in the spring of 2018 under an approved Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS) contract with high yielding Sitka spruce (72%) and Norway spruce (10%) primarily for future timber production with the remainder allocated to mixed broadleaves and open ground.
The land lies between 220 - 310 metres above sea level and was previously part of Clawfin Farm and grazed by sheep prior to woodland establishment. The woodland is now 6 years old and both the conifer and broadleaved areas are establishing well and will require little maintenance.
In 2018 30.92 hectares of Clawfin Wood was registered and validated under the Woodland Carbon Code and in 2023 the woodland had its first 5 year verification audit carried out as part of the ongoing scheme. Verification is pending and the project is expected to sequester approximately 3,878 tonnes (tCO2e) during the life span of this 40 year project. This will allow the woodland owner to use the carbon units generated to offset their own activities or trade the woodland carbon units as the woodland matures over the next 34 years.
An attractive stream runs down through the woodland where the old stone field dykes (walls) of this former farm unit are still a lovely feature of the property. To the west of the property is an old spoil heap (Bing) left from the open cast mining that took place to the north of the public road; a reminder of the previous industrial scale mining activity that took place in this area.
