Woodland Surveys and Management

 

Greenman has been successfully managing woodlands for over 14 years. Over that time the needs of the woodland owner have changed considerably, no longer is timber the main objective of woodland management but goes hand in hand with conservation, recreation and education. Finding the balance between these sometimes conflicting objectives is where our experience is essential.

Our woodland surveys will identify species of flora and fauna, identify any issues with problem species. We recommend measures to increase native species, bio diversity and associated benefits whilst considering public access and safety.

With the statutory protection afforded to nesting birds, bats and bat roosts our comprehensive understanding of all relevant legislation is an essential management tool. We have considerable experience in creating and improving habitat to encourage boi-diversity within woodland.

We can facilitate the transformation of forestry plantations from monoculture block plantations to continuous cover woodland employing alternative silvicultural systems that generate income whilst keeping the benefit of continuous woodland canopy.
