Forestry
Complementing our pastures and fields, sustainable forestry is a key pillar of the Monkton Farleigh landscape.
The estate manages over 100 hectares of diverse woodland, ensuring the long-term health and structural variety of its historic canopies. Rather than focusing on intensive commercial logging, our forestry practices are deeply integrated with our Wildlife Farms and Estates conservation framework.
By carefully balancing selective thinning with new native tree planting, we maintain thriving habitats, protect ancient broadleaf trees, and create crucial wildlife corridors. This active woodland stewardship ensures that our forests remain vital carbon sinks, beautiful natural features of the Wiltshire countryside, and safe havens for local biodiversity for generations to come.
