Description

This contract will be for the following works:
Cpt 1a & 1b: fell larch, thin Scots pine (55 years old)
Cpt 2: clear fell larch (55 years old, though looks much younger).
The North York Moors National Park Authority are facilitating the contract, which will be with the owners of High Cow Helm (1a & 2) & High Ellermire (1b), so I'd like to know a total cost for the harvesting work and what price you'll offer for the timber. The Authority can use grant funding to ensure the scheme is economically viable for both contractor and owner if the harvesting costs exceed the timber value, as seems likely.
