Woodland & Forestry
The estate includes 2000 acres of woodland. From which 100tones of quality firewood is produced and sold each year, 400tones of woodchip is produced each year for the biomass burner that is about to be installed in the Castle to decrease the Castles carbon footprint and at the same time saving £70,000 a year on fuel, again with an emphasis on the castle becoming self-sufficient, making use of the natural recourses on the estate.
Quality oak, cherry, ash, sycamore, and yew are sold for commercial use, with a full replanting and management program in place to look to the future for all of the woodland and parkland at Belvoir.

About Belvoir
