Wildfire Management Plans

As our climate changes, the frequency and severity of wildfires is increasing. Longer periods of hot, dry weather mean that woodland, heathland, grassland and agricultural land are becoming more vulnerable to wildfire, particularly where vegetation and site access are not actively managed.

If you have a project in mind, or want to speak with a member of our team - please get in touch.

We prepare Wildfire Management Plans in line with Forestry Commission guidance, helping landowners understand the level of wildfire risk across their land and identify practical measures to reduce it.

Each plan considers:

  • wildfire hazards and site-specific risks;
  • vegetation and fuel loads;
  • access for emergency vehicles;
  • water sources and firefighting infrastructure;
  • sensitive habitats and designated sites;
  • practical management recommendations to reduce the likelihood and impact of wildfire.

Recommendations may include ride and track management, fuel breaks, vegetation management, grazing, invasive species control, emergency access improvements and changes to long-term land management.

Whether you manage woodland, heathland, farmland or a mixed estate, a Wildfire Management Plan provides a practical strategy for improving resilience while protecting people, property and wildlife.
