Whether your forest is a hardwood plantation or being grown for timber production, there is a plan that can de designed for you  

We provide a detailed analysis of the forest pre and post harvesting and monitor the impacts of frequency and volume of harvest. 

Our vision of forestry is long term - even if yours might be shorter term view.  Working together can be where the greatest value and returns can be generated. You can find a harvesting calculator below.

Our team of professional foresters can expertly analyse your plantation and discuss the logistics of the harvesting operation with the design and construction of a forest road.

A felling licence is required to facilitate harvesting and very often a forest road will be necessary to provide sufficient access. A felling licence and associated road grant application are complex submissions, so with our in house ecology team, we will make this application process as smooth as possible. Once the licence has been issued, you benefit from the nationwide harvesting operations of Green Belt in improved timber pricing and performance.
