45: Positive Forestry with Nick and Matt

19 Sep 2025

Description

This week we interview Matt (Aspect Forestry and Rural Management) and Nick (Kilmaha Forestry) about what actually happens in forestry and the moves in the last 20 years away from bare monocultures and towards more diverse and sensitive plantations.We cover every stage of forestry and the consideration taken for nature, from planting and selective weeding through to after care and harvesting of timber with minimal ground damage, and the benefits of using timber over other Carbon expensive materials like steel and concrete.Finally the guys talk about the industry as a whole and the impact that vilification of a sector can have on the mental health of the humans within it.CountrySlide is a podcast that looks at farming, conservation and life in the British countryside.Send us photos of your interesting trinkets that your other half wants to burn or bin as submissions to the calendar or for fun at: [email protected] Links- The video launching the sector-wide mental health initiative- Matt on X , bluesky and Aspect Forestry website- Nick on X and Kilmaha Forestry website- Forestry Contracting Association- Subscribe on Patreon for extra content (you can cancel at any time)- Richard Negus interview on YouTube- If you enjoy what we do, consider a one-off tip on Ko-fi- CountrySlide website- Negus' book tour dates can be found hereThe HostsRichard Negus websiteCallum McInerney-Riley websiteRichard Prideaux websiteEdited and Produced by Amy Green for Rural and Outdoor.
