Marketing thinnings

For the secret foresters lurking out there, I have a school in NE Hampshire 
situated in a scots pine plantation (approx 2 ha).  Trees are approx 30 yrs 
old & require (second) thinning.  Sizes range from 15 - 40cm dbh(possibly 
0.1 cub.m./av.pole - total guess though) & the general timber quality is 
somewhat mediocre.

The question is, what is the current demand for pulpwood and would such a 
site be of interest to a forestry contractor?  Ok that was 2 questions.

And a bonus third question - does anybody have any forestry contacts down 
this neck of the proverbial woods.  Contact me off-forum if you want to keep 
your forestry heretige quiet.

Many thanks,
