Woodland and forestry management services
Timber sales
Operating independently of any processing organisation, our woodland specialists market timber on behalf of clients through our own platforms and TimberAuctions.co.uk. We also supervise timber operations on behalf of our landowners, working closely with forestry teams on the ground to ensure that work is carried out in accordance with the contract and all relevant legislation, and that the ground is left in prime condition for restocking future crops.
New planting
Whether your aim is to create larger timber resources, meet climate change or carbon sequestration targets, improve habitats or enhance the general rural economy, our woodland management specialists are here to help with your new planting ambitions. Our long-established teams provide our clients with ground assessment, strategic advice, and grant application guidance.
Long-term forest plans
Long-term forest plans are essential to accessing forest management support and grants for commercial forestry properties, certifying woodlands as meeting the UK Woodland Assurance Standard (UKWAS), and can help maximise timber income returns. Our forestry management team is fully experienced in preparing long-term forest plans and securing successful approvals.
Grants & support
There are substantial grants available to landowners taking on tree planting projects. Our specialist forestry management teams are well-versed in successfully obtaining these grants and providing support for our clients through the process. Our projects vary from large-scale upland commercial forest planting to the establishment of native woodlands, often used to enhance future sporting management.
Mapping & surveying
We provide full digital mapping and surveying services for our clients. Our team can assist with all aspects of forest mapping and surveying, from creating databases and maps for forests of thousands of hectares, to recording the locations and details of endangered species. Our in-house foresters have extensive skillsets, qualifications and many years of experience providing a comprehensive digital mapping and surveying service to our clients.
Here to help you see the wood from the trees
Forestry is a long-term investment, and it can be all too easy for years to pass without reviewing the objectives of ownership. Our forestry and woodland management specialists look at the full range of possible options from an impartial position, to enable our clients to make clear, informed decisions.
We’re here to support you through the full lifecycle of your forestry investment, including acting as an arbitration service or as expert witnesses, and handling negotiations for access rights, wayleaves, windfarms, radio masts, leases and compensation claims.
