Our bespoke woodland management services are tailored to our clients needs and entirely site specific.
Woodlands are managed for many reasons including:
conservation (ecological value), amenity/recreation (social), firewood and timber (economic/sustainability).
We believe that all of the above management types should enhance biodiversity and benefit the ecology of the woodland. An un-managed woodland can often loose its biodiversity, amenity use is enhanced by wildlife habitat and even a woodland planted specifically for timber should offer a home to woodland flora and fauna.
If you are looking for new woodland creation please jump to: our Woodland Planting page.
When visiting your woodland we will first survey the type of woodland, whether, Ancient woodland, high forest, Atlantic woodland for example. We will also consider the following when helping you decide on the appropriate management: Size, age, isolation, woodland edge, structural diversity, stage of growth and amount of deadwood.
The most bio-diverse woodland will have a ground (herbaceous), shrub, under-story and a canopy layer as well as deadwood (ground and standing). Whether your woodland needs these layers introduced or restored, clearance of invasive species (vegetation) thinning for light and regeneration, further planting or initial planting, we have the expertise to manage the health and ecological value of your land.
What makes us different:
We manage woodlands for Biodiversity and Conservation. We are chosen for our holistic approach and expertise, our understanding of the habitats we work within and carrying out the work ourselves, rather than sending an alternative team. Who you meet. is who you get!
We look at the whole structure of the woodland and consider the communities within, including the tree community and key species, ground flora, epiphyte community, invertebrates, birds and mammals.
We align ourselves with all conservation information sources and have a strong relationship with Plantlife's "Atlantic Woodland restoration work" as well as continuous study in Ecology and Habitat Management.
