Background.
Formed in June 2006, Broomheath Plantation is a small forestry company, based in Bruen Stapleford near Tarvin, Cheshire, specialising in the management of small woodlands for conservation, timber production, education, public access and Christmas trees. Regular visitors will notice that the website is changing and several sections are missing during this transition. They will be reactivated by the end of May 2010.
How it all began.
- In June 2006 we bought a 20 acre wheat field in Bruen Stapleford near Tarvin in Cheshire. The wheat was harvested, the land was seeded with conservation grass seed and then fenced and gated. On 28th January 2007, nearly 300 Scouts, leaders and parents took part in celebrations to plant 2000 trees in one day to commemorate the centenary of Scouting. One hectare of the plantation has been set aside for these trees and is marked along the permissive pathway by two Oak posts. Click on the picture to open a gallery
