Forest V Ditching & drainage

Forrest ditching is important so trees are not water logged and have good drainage
Trees planted in soil with poor drainage will have a shallower root system than ones planted in well-draining soil.
trees can then put down deeper roots to get to water and have a better hold,
This will help prevent trees falling over easily in heavy wind blow conditions,
With good drainage you get better quality timber, better price for good grade timber

Farm Drainage

Cleaning out ditches
agricultural drainage to remove excess water from the soil in order to enhance crops
subsurface drains, and the construction of shallow ditches or waterways can allow the water to leave the field rather than causing prolonged wet areas.
