Plan & Deliver

Stewardship from plan to chainsaw

A neglected wood loses value, fails inspections and becomes a liability. An actively managed one grows in value, supports wildlife, qualifies for grants and produces income — the difference is a plan and a crew to deliver it.

We write UK Forestry Standard–compliant management plans that set your objectives, schedule thinning and felling, programme restocking, and cover access, deer and grey-squirrel control over a 5–10 year horizon.

Then we do the work. The same team that writes the plan thins, fells, extracts and replants — so decisions are made by people who actually know your wood, not handed to a subcontractor who's never walked it.

Common Questions

Before you call

What does a woodland management plan involve? +

A written plan setting out the woodland's condition, your objectives, and a programme of work — thinning cycles, felling and restocking, access and deer or squirrel control — over a 5 to 10 year horizon. It's the basis for felling licences and most grant funding.

Do I need a management plan to get grants or a felling licence? +

For ongoing work, usually yes. An approved plan can carry felling permissions for up to ten years and is normally required for management grants. We write the plan and handle the Forestry Commission approval.

Can active management actually pay for itself? +

Often. Thinnings and harvested timber generate income, while good management raises the quality and value of what's left standing. We show you the likely income and cost over the plan period so there are no surprises.

Do you carry out the work as well as plan it? +

Yes — unlike a pure consultant, we plan and deliver. The same firm that writes the plan thins, fells, extracts, restocks and maintains, so the woodland is managed by the people who know it.

Which areas do you cover? +

Surrey, Greater London, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire and the wider South East.
