Woodland Management in the Lake District

Practical Support for Landowners, Estates & Private Woodlands

ADS Timber delivers professional woodland management services across the Lake District, supporting private landowners, estates, councils, and organisations with safe and sustainable forestry solutions. With extensive experience in managing woodlands of all sizes, we have built a strong reputation for combining practical results with long-term sustainability. Our team is trusted to take on projects in some of the most challenging and sensitive landscapes in the UK, ensuring every job is completed with professionalism and care.

Our woodland management services in the Lake District include selective thinning, tree felling, and harvesting to maintain balance within woodland and promote healthier regrowth. We also provide brash raking, chipping, and forwarding, leaving sites neat and ready for future use. For larger or more demanding projects, we carry out complete site clearance to prepare land for replanting or redevelopment. Where trees are dead, diseased, or hazardous, we undertake licensed removals to safeguard both people and the surrounding environment. Every project is completed with precision, safety, and respect for the landscape.

The Lake District presents unique challenges, and our team has the skills and equipment to work effectively in steep, rugged, and sensitive environments. Our ability to carry out woodland management in difficult locations is one of the reasons clients across the region choose ADS Timber. Whether it is a private woodland with restricted access or a large-scale estate project in a national park, we provide solutions that balance practical outcomes with environmental responsibility.

Our clients in the Lake District come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Private landowners look to us for help improving the safety, appearance, and value of their woodland. Agricultural businesses and estates use our services to support their long-term land management strategies, while councils trust us to manage public woodland safely. Wildlife trusts and national parks value our expertise in conservation-focused projects, and we also work with the Church of England to manage woodland on historic land. This breadth of experience ensures we can adapt our services to meet the priorities of each client.

Every woodland is different, so we tailor our approach to the requirements of each site. For some clients, selective thinning is the best way to improve the strength of existing woodland and encourage new growth. For others, complete clearance is required to prepare for planting or redevelopment. By listening carefully to our clients and adapting our methods to their objectives, we ensure that our woodland management in the Lake District delivers effective and sustainable results.

ADS Timber is also known for providing complete woodland management packages. From securing felling licences to site clearance, replanting, and ongoing maintenance, we deliver an end-to-end service that saves clients time and ensures consistency across every stage of the project. This seamless approach is particularly valued in the Lake District, where sensitive environments require a careful and coordinated management process.

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.

Trusted Across Yorkshire for Over 35 Years

We hired A.D.S. Timber to carry out woodland thinning and tree felling on our property in the Dales. Andy and the team were professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. The job was completed efficiently, and the site was left tidy and well-managed. Highly recommend!

I’ve worked with several forestry contractors over the years, and A.D.S. Timber is by far the best. Their knowledge of woodland management is second to none, and their equipment is top of the line. It’s rare to find such a well-rounded team that delivers on every promise.

We've used A.D.S. Timber multiple times for woodland maintenance on our estate and they’ve always done an excellent job. Whether it’s winching awkward trees or chipping brash, they handle every task with care and attention. A pleasure to work with.
