Woodland

Yattendon occupies a very picturesque mixed landscape of wooded valleys leading to the open downs above Streatley. The woodlands extend to some 990 hectares (2,100 acres) and cover approximately 25% of the Estate.

The woods are a mixture of broadleaf and coniferous woodlands managed on a continuous canopy philosophy in accordance with a Forestry Commission approved management plan and are FSC accredited.

In 2013 a 'generation' plan commenced to bring all of the woodlands back into productive capacity to enable the woods to provide fuel for biomass heating and firewood, wood chip, high quality hard and softwoods for construction projects.
