 Practical Planning Supported by Reliable Woodland Data

Effective woodland planning relies on accurate site understanding, reliable forestry data, and practical management insight. Our planning services integrate woodland surveying, GIS mapping, remote sensing, and forestry expertise to support informed decision-making across a wide range of woodland environments.

We work closely with woodland owners, forestry managers, estates, and land professionals to provide tailored planning support that reflects the operational, environmental, and long-term objectives of each project.

Our experienced Forest Managers can offer a no obligation consultation to discuss your woodland and which services would best suit your management objectives

Harvesting Plans & Forecasting

A woodland inventory is essential for effective planning. By gathering data on volume, grade, yield, species, stocking, and variability, we provide landowners with insights into their woodland's health and productivity for both commercial and recreational uses.

Our team appraises woodlands before and after harvesting, ensuring accurate auditing of timber quantities.

These assessments are crucial for creating Woodland Management Plans and aid in financial projections, ensuring informed future resource decisions.

Carbon Assessments

By combining field data and remote sensing, our team excels in assessing woodlands' carbon sequestration potential. This approach allows us to project future carbon storage, considering the growth dynamics of the woodland layers.

With a solid track record, we specialise in periodic surveys for the Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) and producing reports that ensure compliance.

Whether as an independent assessment or part of the Woodland Carbon Code, our expertise provides precise and reliable insights into carbon sequestration dynamics.

Wildlife Surveys

Our mammal survey services comply with UK Forestry and Ecology regulations, achieving top standards in wildlife conservation. We are committed to preserving biodiversity and adhering to Schedule 1 Protected Species laws through surveys that assess mammal populations, bird species, and livestock impacts.
Using advanced methodologies, our surveys offer accurate, non-invasive evaluations with drone technology and terrestrial techniques.
We conduct responsible pre-harvesting assessments and ongoing monitoring, ensuring our surveys support sustainable land management strategies. 
We address risks related to mammal populations impacting tree health and damage. Our surveys help mitigate dangers, supporting informed decision-making and responsible land management in line with UK standards.

Tree Surveys

Our skilled team specialises in pinpointing and reporting the scope of tree safety concerns that stem from tree diseases. Furthermore, we are able to appraise recoverable timber, assessing potential product opportunities after a tree health notice. This effort helps reduce financial losses. Our proactive strategy guarantees a thorough insight into tree health, thus playing a vital role in sustainable land management.

We recognise that woodland management often involves balancing commercial objectives, operational requirements, long-term sustainability, and site-specific environmental considerations. Our approach is built around working closely with clients to understand these priorities and provide practical planning support tailored to the individual requirements of each woodland.
