This is a series of caches in the plantation and is hidded next to and example of halo thinning. Replace exactly as is to stop it being used as a dog chew toy!

In 50 years time, Himley plantation will be a structurally diverse, predominantly native broadleaved high forest. Native natural regeneration will be frequent throughout the wood and standing and fallen deadwood will be present with mature and developing veteran trees across the site. Sycamore will remain a component of the wood but not dominate the canopy. The shrub layer will include regenerating native tree and shrub species. Invasive species e.g. rhododendron and Himalayan Balsam will be rare or absent. Structural variety will be enhanced through halo thinning selective native broadleaves across the wood to release and encourage the regeneration of species such as Oak, Lime, Cherry, Alder and Willow.
