Forests and woodlands provide a diverse and often unique habitat for numerous animal and plant species from lichens and fungi, invertebrates such as insects, spiders and worms, mammals, and birds.
The structure of woodland, from the underground root systems up to the tree canopy, plays a crucial part in sustaining a healthy ecosystem, protecting the soil, and maintaining climate regulation.
To protect and maintain the health and resilience of forests and woods requires professional management. Although creating new woodland is vital, so is the sustainable management of woodlands that already exist, enabling them to flourish and provide their incredible range of benefits.
Professional tree care and arboricultural contractors are experts in forestry and woodland management and are vital in carrying out contracting work for private landowners, landed estates, farmers, and corporate owners of woodlands.
They undertake essential forestry and woodland management tasks such as tree felling, timber extraction and brash recovery, destumping, mulching and flailing, winching, controlling invasive species, ditching, fencing and track creation. In addition, they work in collaboration with chartered surveyors and forest managers to implement sustainable management plans.
Tree care and arboricultural professionals who have invested in accreditations such as Safe Contractor, CHAS, and Construction Line Gold, enable clients to have confidence that they have chosen a capable, compliant and safe contractor.
