The forests of the United kingdom are at time of transition. With the upcoming withdrawal of EU subsides for farmers and a move to a grant system of “public funds for public services”  large swathes of grazing land will become reforested over the coming decades reforging the natural landscape and giving birth to the predator forest. The time of the forest being purged for its resources is at an end. No longer will it be plundered by the outside world. As the ancient forests were protected by mythological beasts and creatures, now a new creature is emerging. It’s limbs and skeleton facilitate a mixture of traditional and emerging forestry practices linking agriculture, forestry and architecture. Macclesfield Forest, is one such location. Foresters, carbon farmers, agricultural specialists, scientists and architects inhabit the boundary of the new forest. Their objective is the expansion of the forest. They facilitate this through traditional forestry techniques paired with the latest technological advancements. They harvest what the forest can spare. Whilst taking advantage of government initiatives to create a viable economy of the forest that facilitates the acquisition of surrounding land to expand the boundary, reclaiming lost territory and reconnecting fragmented woodland.
