The company has a reputation for the professionalism of its work, its capacity to deliver a work programme on time and to budget with an ability to enable an owner to realise a diversity of woodland management objectives. Established in 1996 we have a wide range of clients in Wales, Herefordshire and Shropshire. They include private Estates, absentee woodland owners, local authorities and NGOs. At the heart of the client portfolio is the management of private Estates. Our success is reflected by the long-term nature of our involvement in many Estates. On these properties we prepare budgets, implement agreed work programmes, employ and supervise contractors and negotiate with the Forestry Commission. Acknowledging the difficulties of making some woodlands profitable, our woodland management focuses on keeping costs to a minimum whilst maximising returns from timber sales, on site added value, and Government grants. The company employs a team of qualified forest managers based in Powys (Wales), Shropshire and Herefordshire. Managers are professional members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Institute of Chartered Foresters (ICF). We provide up to date and accurate advice; we are in touch with current UK Government and Welsh Government policies; we deal regularly with existing and developing timber markets; we are informed about disease and climate change implications and we are expert at deriving best value from forestry grant schemes.
