Understanding your woodland

The first step is understanding your woodland and what you want it to achieve.

We begin with a detailed site survey to assess the condition of the woodland, identify opportunities and constraints, and understand the existing tree species, habitats, infrastructure and management history. From this, we develop a practical management strategy that reflects your objectives while safeguarding the long-term resilience of the woodland.

Our recommendations may include:

• sustainable timber management;
• thinning and coppicing programmes;
• restocking and woodland creation;
• habitat enhancement and biodiversity improvements;
• invasive species management;
• deer and squirrel management;
• ride and access management;
• resilience to pests, diseases and climate change.

Woodland Management Plans

A Woodland Management Plan provides the framework for delivering these objectives over the long term.

Prepared in accordance with the UK Forestry Standard, our plans combine detailed woodland surveys, compartment descriptions, GIS mapping and practical management recommendations into a clear programme of work, typically covering a ten-year period.

Each plan identifies the woodland's key opportunities and constraints, recommends future operations and provides a phased programme of works to help prioritise management and investment over time.

An approved Woodland Management Plan can incorporate a 10-year felling licence and support applications for woodland grants, providing a clear framework for delivering woodland management over the long term.

Supporting delivery

Producing a management plan is only the beginning.

We can continue to support you through every stage of implementation, including securing felling licences and grant funding, preparing work specifications, managing contractors and monitoring progress on site. This ensures the recommendations within the plan are translated into practical, effective woodland management.

Whether you own a small woodland or manage a large estate, our aim is to help you make informed decisions that improve the health, resilience and value of your woodland for years to come.
