Management tasks from year 4 to year 10

Once the trees are well established, it is important to continue monitoring the growth and health of your forest:

• Localised vegetation control may still be required
• Top headlands and pathways at least once a year for access
• Monitor trees for nutrition deficiencies, disease and general unthrifty appearance
• Further formative shaping of broadleaved trees will improve stem quality
• Check fence lines preventing trespass
• Monitor for squirrel and deer damage
