The woodland of the Winton Estate is well managed, provides good timber, and a spin-off is the Winton Walks network of paths around the estate. The trees are thinned and pruned to improve timber quality, and the paths and bridges are built to last. Wildlife is encouraged as much as possible, and positive measures are taken to create and conserve habitats. The wood is processed for furniture at the top end, and woodchips become biofuel. About 300t of woodchips a year are used to provide space heating and hot water for Winton House and 5 cottages.
