Woodland Management & Planning
Supporting sustainable woodland care, from strategic plans to on-the-ground action.
Whether you manage a small woodland, a country estate, or are restoring neglected land, our expert woodland management services help you actively shape and maintain wooded areas to achieve specific goals.
Plan with Confidence
By utilising professional Tree Management Software, we provide clear, actionable woodland management plans, tailored to your site conditions, helping you meet your woodland management goals.
Our woodland management plans will state the objectives of management and set out how an appropriate balance between social, economic, and environmental objectives will be achieved.
- Finalise Plan – Amend, refine, and firm up the draft into a final woodland management plan.
- Implementation – Work with the woodland owner to develop operational plans and implement work programs.
- Review – Assist the woodland owner with making periodic updates of the woodland management plan as required.
Our Woodland Planning Services
We refer to the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS) process for producing a woodland management plan based around:
- Scoping – With the owner develop woodland management the specific site objectives in consideration of UKFS guidelines.
- Woodland Survey – Collect and digitally map information about the site. Consider any statutory constraints and identify site factors.
- Analysis – Access the Woodland survey information in relation to project objectives and determine the woodland potential.
- Synthesis – Formulate a broad concept into a draft woodland management plan for the basis of consultation, comments and revision.
Woodland Carbon Sequestration
Our woodland management plans can include carbon sequestration modelling and habitat enhancement strategies to support BNG, WCC (Woodland Carbon Code), or sustainability goals.
If required, we can prepare and submit Felling Licence Applications to the Forestry Commission, with clear justification using digital mapping.
