FOREST MANAGEMENT

Woodlands must be managed effectively in order for them to continue to provide their many benefits including timber, wildlife  conservation and enjoyable places for people to visit.

However, we subscribe to the principle that a wood that pays is a wood that stays. The economic objectives cannot be ignored. We believe in maximising returns for the landowner as well as delivering environmental benefits and practising sustainable forest management. We work closely with landowners in helping them achieve their objectives. We are always looking to advise them on new grants available and  new markets, such as carbon sequestration and wood fuel.

Woodland Stewardship has now become the official UK affiliate of the US-based National Carbon Offsets Coalition. This means that we are able to trade the carbon sequestered in UK forests on the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX).

We have more than 10 years experience in the following;

• Forest Design Plans
• Forest Surveys and valuations
• GIS Mapping
• New planting schemes
• Silvicultural management
• Production forecasting
• Financial planning
• Harvesting and marketing
• Ecological Site Classification (ESC)
• Public access (including tree safety inspections)
• UKWAS Forest Certification
