For those considering felling:

Seek advice regarding the present and future value of your timber from a number of different sources – forestry contractors, timber merchants, mobile sawmillers, sawmills and the Forestry Commission.  Felling Licences are a legal requirement in many circumstances - check with the Forestry Commission before any felling. See above for list of Forestry Commission contacts.
