In this Manx.News Special Report, we talk to the island’s Chief Forester about why some of the island’s plantations and woodlands have been closed for almost six months; and the tons of timber being exported off island.
This fascinating programme takes you behind the barriers in to the currently closed Archallagan Forest, to see how the storm damaged woodland is being cleared.
Jason Bolt also tells us about how the timber is being received very positively by the UK market with Manx wood fetching strong prices.
We also visit the island’s sawmill in St Johns and see ships in Ramsey being loaded up as timber is exported to Cumbria and Wales.
