Woodland Management

Branching Out can devise and implement woodland management plans to develop safe, healthy and productive woodlands.

You can rest assured that our fully qualified tree surgeons have the knowledge and equipment to undertake any necessary tree maintenance works.

What is woodland management?

The aim of woodland management is to establish and continually progress a forest environment for a clear purpose.

By using knowledgeable professionals, you can ensure that your land management programme will generate both environmental benefits and timber production.

For optimum results, we advise that woodland management needs to be part of any plan before a single tree is planted.

As well as being a source of timber, a carefully managed woodland will promote wildlife and biodiversity. Other considerations included protecting any natural features or archaeological remains, enhancing the landscape and improving water quality.

If the woodland is open to the public, planning also needs to address increasing recreational and sporting activities.

Whatever your aims, our friendly team can offer practical support for landowners, community groups and farmers.

For example, you might wish to consider applying for grants and other funding opportunities from organisations like the Forestry Commission. These can help to make woodland management more affordable while promoting carbon registration and biodiversity.

Woodland management plans

Our qualified tree surgeons can help you produce a sustainable woodland management plan to secure the long-term future of your land.

From a small copse to an extensive parkland setting, we can help you identify a vision and a list of objectives. Our work will begin with an introductory meeting to understand your intentions, before we conduct a comprehensive woodland survey.

The survey also provides an opportunity to make a detailed account of the current situation, including the number and variety of trees and the potential risks.

Once completed, the woodland management plan will become a valuable point of reference for future work such as tree planting. Details will include the latest advice on industry best practice.

The document is also a valuable source of information when creating a budget for the years ahead.

Tree maintenance

Using our years of experience in tree management, we will conduct a full tree survey as part of the woodland management plan.

The aim is to assess the current condition of the trees, while identifying the range of species and the potential timber yields. For example, our experts can advise on ways to increase the amount of high-value timber or logs.
