What is Woodland Management?
Woodland management is the careful planning and ongoing maintenance of woodland areas to promote healthy tree growth, biodiversity, and overall productivity. It can involve anything from thinning and selective felling to pest control, path clearance, and habitat improvement.
Left unmanaged, woodlands can quickly become overgrown, diseased, or unproductive. Our goal is to create a balanced environment where native species flourish, young trees have space to grow, and timber resources can be harvested responsibly.
