10 December 2024Coppicing in Byrness
Tyne Rivers Trust (TRT) has kindly agreed to undertake staged coppicing on the area between Otterburn Green and the A68.
Potentially the first section may be coppiced on December 11th if TRT has sufficient resource.
It has been agreed this will be undertaken in stages to maintain some degree of 'sound barrier' between the road and the properties.
