The documents within this file relate to the maintenance and care of Loughton forest.

A 1947 report states that Loughton forest is 'uniform in age and in the species of trees they contain-they are mature woods- I would guess the age as well over 100 years'. The report also describes the forest in detail point and features an area by area breakdown based on tree type. The forest is largely made up of Beech and Oak trees.

The file also encloses a letter from Mr Peter Joseph Murphy, 'Tulach Dore Lodge', Borris-in-Ossory, Co. Leix (Laois) applying for job as a wooding steward. He also encloses references.
