I have been working in a 24 hectare ancient semi-natural woodland on the outskirts of Dorchester moving some smaller logs into a stack ready for next winters firewood. I had a good look at the sweet chestnut that we felled in November/December 2013 and we will still not be able to get it out for a couple of months (maybe May?) as the soil is still too wet and if extraction is attempted too early, it would ruin the bluebells and other flora there.
