Helping you as custodians of British woodlands
Where do you want to go?

We offer a full range of management work. Some woodland owners prefer a hands-on approach, and we provide expert back-up where they require it. In other cases, the woodland owner may not have the time or expertise to manage their woodlands, and we can provide any of the following management services, in conjunction with advice, contracting work and the sale of timber:
Woodland Grant Scheme Applications. We can apply for Woodland Grant Scheme funding from the Forestry Commission, and draw up the plans needed to qualify for these payments. We manage the claims over the life of each scheme, to ensure that cheques are sent to you promptly when grant is due. | ||
| Preparation of Management Plans. We can draw up detailed management plans for forests of any size, including new plantations. Such a plan would outline long-term aims and objectives, in order to keep a coherent management strategy over the long timescales involved in forestry, but would also contain detailed short and medium term programmes of work. Native Woodland Plans. In addition, we can draw up Native Woodland Plans for woodlands. This is part of a new FC initiative and involves a full ecological survey and a 20-year management plan. In some areas of the country this qualifies for 100% funding. Contact us for further details. Survey Work. We can carry out full site, crop and tree surveys, to obtain a range of information. We can survey timber or full sites for valuation, arrange ecological surveys for conservation purposes, and our staff are experienced in carrying out Veteran Tree Surveys. Not only do veteran trees provide character to many woodlands, they are important habitats, and we submit results of these surveys to the Veteran Trees Initiative for inclusion on a national database held by English Nature. Health & Safety. If you wish to work in your own forest, or hire contractors yourself, we can draw up Risk Assessment and Health & Safety policies for your woodlands, relevant to current H&S legisation. Where our gangs or sub-contractors hired by us are used, our own Health & Safety policies are adhered to. Engagement and Supervision of Contractors. We can utilize our own gangs, or vet and hire suitable contractors local to your woodland to carry out planting, felling, pest control etc. |
