Work on the woodland in Mutchetts Wood and on Bricket Wood Common will begin before the end of September.

Woodland machinery will access the areas along the new track that has been laid across Mutchetts Paddocks and timber will be extracted to the loading bay in the paddock for later collection.

All trees to be extracted have been marked.

Trees of poor quality have been selected or trees that are too close together and are not allowing sufficient light to reach the woodland floor.

Updates on progress will be uploaded to the blog on St Albans City council’s website.
