Woodland Management services
Clarity, care, and long-term impact — for your woodland, your land, your legacy.
Creating, managing, and enhancing woodlands can feel complex—but it doesn’t need to be. We handle the complexity so that woodland ownership becomes what it should be: a source of joy, purpose, and long-term value.
At Land & Heritage, woodlands are at our core. Each of our three founding directors brings over 30 years’ experience in woodland creation, management, and conservation—and we’ve built a team that integrates that expertise with heritage and landscape insight to support complex, multi-value projects across the UK.
Whether you're looking to create new woodland, care for established trees, or revitalise a neglected site, we’ll help you bring clarity to woodland planning, funding, compliance, and long-term care.
We understand the the questions you're asking:
What’s the right direction for my woodland?
What funding should I apply for—and what’s realistic?
Can I generate long-term income from woodland?
Where do I even start with planting or enhancement?
Will I meet the UK Forestry Standard? What about other regulations?
I want a local, hands-on consultant—not a faceless firm.
I've had poor experiences with national firms that didn’t listen.
I want to create a woodland—but I don’t know what’s involved.
We get it, and we'll work with you to figure it all out.
Tailored woodland advice from people who care
We take the time to understand your goals and your land—so we can recommend a clear path forward that works for you, your values, and your budget.
Our woodland consultancy is grounded in decades of practical experience, strategic insight, and a strong ethical foundation. Whether your priority is biodiversity, landscape resilience, carbon capture, heritage integrity, or income generation, we’ll help you plan and implement with confidence.
Experience that spans decades: woodland management is a long-term endeavour, and we bring long-term perspective.
Deep motivation and care: we genuinely love what we do and take pride in helping woodlands thrive.
A personal, one-to-one service: you’ll work directly with a dedicated consultant who knows your land.
A truly holistic approach: we blend ecological, landscape, and heritage insight to deliver lasting value.
