A grant funded long term woodland plan is a great management tool used for all decision making when it comes to woodland maintenance. With the completion and approval of a plan, a 10 year felling license is issued which gives great flexibility for woodland operations. Notts Woodland Services can write a long term woodland plan suited to your long term objectives, engaging with all the relevant stakeholders along the way.

Fencing is a great way to keep animals in or keep animals out. Fencing is also a great way to cut down on the use of plastic under woodland creation or replanting schemes. Whether it be deer fencing, stock fencing or post and rail fencing, Notts Woodland Services can offer very competitive rates on a variety of fencing methods.

Pictures speak a thousand words, if done correctly, maps can speak many more. Maps are a good way of expressing ideas and help to communicate management objectives. Using Arc GIS, Notts Woodland Services can produce a suite of professional looking maps suitable for grant applications, long term plans and other uses.

Tree health has never been so important. As more people begin to appreciate trees it’s important that they can do so without risking their life. Roadside tree surveys are a great way of determining the susceptibility of a tree to falling and causing serious harm. Subsequent tree surgery can remove this risk.

Weeds compete with the tree for water and nutrients, they need to be controlled. Predicted wetter and warmer winters mean weed growth will continue to cause issues if left untreated. Using our certified and trained contractors we can ensure weed growth is controlled, giving your trees the best chance of survival. Once the trees are well established pruning/removing lower branches is a great way to increase long term timber value.

TIn order to comply with any grant funding and/or the conditions of a felling licence for timber harvesting, planted trees which have died need to be replaced to ensure a full stocking density. By completing an annual inspection the following autumn, Notts Woodland Services can give a good indication of the number of losses, provide quotations for replacement and carry out the work.
