Valmar 890c Forwarder at Snaizeholme off Widdale, Timber harvesting tree plantation, Hawes in the North Yorkshire Dales National Park, UK
Commercial forests that were planted in the late 1960's and early 1970's have now grown to the point of requiring harvesting if the value of their crop is to be maximised. These forests came into being on the back of tax breaks for higher rate taxpayers offered by the various Governments of the day, and the investment opportunity proved attractive to pop stars and the like keen to minimise the drain of their earnings to the Exchequer.
