Slow connection? Watch in lower quality

In this film by Oliver Crossland, we meet artist, author and poet Rachel Coman and her husband Dan. Rachel talks about her experience of owning a woodland, from the process of buying her woodland from woodlands.co.uk, funding and woodland management skills she's learnt in her first year, through to her sense of well-being and feeling of responsibility to care for the woodland.

Rachel explains how to ring-bark (or girdle) a tree to create deadwood for a wildlife habitat. She also demonstrates the process of using a scythe to maintain woodland rides.

Rachel is documenting everything she does and learns in her woodland on Instagram and Facebook:
