Insurance
Many people don’t insure their woodlands but if you feel more comfortable insuring against third party risks it will cost under £100 per year through Rural Arbor Products. They are run by Roger Pittaway.
It is also possible to take out woodland insurance against fire damage reducing crop value but for most woodlands this is unlikely to be necessary. As Oliver Rackham says in his book called Woodlands, “English native woods burn like wet asbestos.” (page 56). It may be worth considering insuring the timber value against fire for larger coniferous woodlands.
