Woodland Management

Woodland management involves a balance between harvesting for profit, maintaining a healthy tree stock and encouraging wildlife. A healthy woodland is both profitable and has an abundance of wildlife.

At Country Works we specialise in turning neglected woodland into a profitable concern, using both traditional and modern practices, and creating a range of woodland products.

We also practice management systems, called continuous cover forestry that keep the woodland silhouette, whist still creating a profit.

Country Works woodland management services include:
  • Management plans
  • Coppicing
  • Continuous cover forestry
  • Practicable woodland management systems
  • Felling
  • Planting
