DESCRIPTION
Cliver Wood and its current coniferous crops were
originally established by the Duchy of Cornwall. It now
contains a mixture of mature and semi-mature conifers, the
vast majority of which are either western hemlock or
Douglas fir. These trees appear to have grown well on the
site and a new woodland owner may expect a tranche of
timber income in the next 5 to 10 years subject to felling
licence approval.
Around 5 hectares (12 acres) of Japanese larch has been
felled recently, due to a Health Plant Notice served
because of Phytophthora ramorum. These areas are
currently bare and it is understood there is no planting
liability. This offers the new owner the opportunity to
influence the future species direction of the woods. There
is an extensive and well-made network of tracks that have
been used for previously felling and clearing and will stand
any future works in good stead.
This is a very private and quiet woodland, the watercourses
which run along the boundaries only amplify this feel. The
wood is designated by the Forestry Commission as a
Plantation on an Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS) as shown
on the Forestry Commission’s Land Information Search
map. This designation indicates the land has been under
continuous tree cover since before 1600 AD but where the
former tree cover has been replaced, often with non-native
trees.
