Wass Moor and Pry Rigg Forest Plan

Overview

Wass and Pry Rigg forest cover an area of 663.4 hectares of mixed coniferous and broadleaved woodland and are situated at the southwest corner of the North York Moors National Park.

The block dates to the 1920s at College Moor and Pry Rigg, followed by further plantings in the 1950s on Wass Moor and is surrounded by arable farmland on the plateau, with some woodlands on valley sites.

The overall long-term vision is for its continued contribution as a productive forest. Felling will generally move away from clear felling towards Lower Impact Silvicultural Systems (LISS).
