Management plan

Intervention Priorities

On the first stage, we overlap 7 main influential factors,to get a Intervention priorities, including tree ages, root carbon, soil type, hydrology, current tree growth rate, tree density and rotation year to get the management plan, the map provides 7 types of plots from urgently in need of management to non urgently plots and we divided our management plan into 4 phases.

3 Rotation Models based on wood wide web

We apply the rotation models to Hooke park accordding to tree species.

Hooke Park Condition

Considering Forest cycle combined with our models, we look at detailed site condition of hooke park We may conclude 6 main characteristics or issues of Hooke Park. The section of Hooke Park shows rich soil area, old forest , high density forest, water-prone area, thinned area and young growing forest. Here are the detailed 6 sections from the whole Hooke Park site. In the upper line, titled current, we linked the present management actions with these plots , showing what the forester’s doing now. And the AFTER sections shows how we would adjust these actions in the lense of wood wide web concept, including insects control, ground water control and so on.




Spatial Design

We choose 3 experimental site in hooke park to test our management plan.

12C Pre-seedlings

12C is supposed to have a clearfell in next 5 years and replant broadleaves. Maybe we do not have to do clearfell at one time but divided into 2 or 3 part step by step.

9F Wood Production

9F is covered by mature broadleaves, and it is planned to be thinned frequently to consistently provide timber.

13E Tourism

13E is an unmanaged plot as example. It has high accessibility, the future of this plot would be for both the AA students and external tourists to visit.
