I am very envious of your woodlands,..what an opportunity. For me the one pity is that everything is in blocks, you have a great variety of deciduous trees but it would have been so much better for the wood, wildlife and most future activities if it was more of a mixed planting

I like the idea of the nursery, this will be vital for the long term engagement of the wood,.. without seeing the wood myself, I would be thinking of removing some of the firs either from removing dead trees or trees that are large enough for selling, or simply through thinning out, and putting deciduous trees in their place, providing the trees that are removed leave enough light for you do do so.

The camping is a good idea,.. everything you do will cost you, and camping will offset the cost a bit, but I would be very careful in how I went about it, I wouldn't want the normal camping type site, there is far too great a risk of fire for that, what would be nice is something like a scouts camp, or forestry education campers,... campers that are monitored

I wish you well with it all, whatever you do
