Depending on what you would like to achieve we can also assist in applying for suitable grants to help with the management and ongoing maintenance of your woodland.

Woodland management – What does it involve?

Treeclear UK provides a complete woodland management service to private and commercial clients. Our highly experienced and qualified team offers every aspect of woodland management tailored to your individual requirements and specifications.

Woodland management services provided by Treeclear UK include;-

• Scrub control

• Thinning trees

• Protecting specimen trees

• Restocking

• Ride maintenance

Scrub Control

Controlling regenerated trees, scrubs, and brambles helps to eradicate unwanted vegetation which suppresses young trees. As part of our woodland management service, we remove and manage unwanted woody vegetation helping woodland to naturally regenerate. 

We also remove Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) which are a threat to native flora and are aggressive in the way they spread. They often grow in dense stands which overpowers woodland habitats.

Thinning Trees

Treeclear UK has specialist machinery to thin out and selectively remove weaker trees. Thinning trees within your woodland can help to encourage the stronger and more prominent trees to establish themselves quicker. Furthermore, it also helps with biodiversity by exposing a woodland to increased light.

Protecting Specimen Trees

Protecting the ancient trees within your woodland is another sub-service that we provide. It’s important to be aware of any veteran trees that thrived for many years and that they are not disturbed. We can help by ensuring that they have adequate space and plenty of light by creating open areas around them with minimal impact.

Further woodland management techniques

As well as the techniques mentioned above, Treeclear UK provides a number of other woodland management techniques, depending on your location, condition, and woodland type.

Techniques include;-

• Restocking: This involves planting with suitable species onto thinning has taken places.

• Ride maintenance: This involves keeping tracks and rides clear for the ease of woodland management and maintenance.
