REGENERATING FORESTS About 100 kilometres north-west of Bucharest in Romania, Ingleby owns three large forests totalling 7,261 hectares. We have over 19 different timber species in our Romanian forests. The dominant broad-leaf species are beech, oak and lime, but we also have hornbeam, spruce, fir, ash and cherry. Romania has a long and proud tradition of sustainable forest management, and is home to some of the largest expanses of mixed-species forest in Europe. We sustainably manage these natural, mixed-species forests in accordance with the highest professional and environmental standards. We do not clear-cut, instead we use a continuous cover forestry system which uses natural regeneration and succession to replace harvested trees. We leave old senescent trees, these are often rotten and have very little merchantable value but are important habitats for various flora and fauna.
