About Our Forestry Management

Our forestry management service involves us planning and caring for woodland so that it stays healthy, safe, and sustainable. We conduct routine services such as surveys, planting, pruning, thinning and coppicing, as well as habitat protection.

We provide low-impact forestry services that leave the lightest carbon footprint behind, and we achieve this by implementing careful planning methods that protect the surrounding soil and wildlife while we work.

Ongoing Maintenance And Monitoring

We provide ongoing maintenance services to make sure your woodland's regrowth stays on track after the main work is done.

We can check the trees' health, prevent pests, reduce disease outbreaks and ensure there's adequate regrowth. We also conduct regular visits so that we can plan the right seasonal jobs, such as thinning, planting, mowing and invasive plant control, and implement them at the right time.

We can also monitor the woodland and adjust our work in line with the weather conditions, so that we can protect the soil, water and wildlife, and keep your access routes safe.

Our Dorset Forestry Management Services

We provide a range of forestry management services so that we can care for your woodland from start to finish, with one clear plan. Our main services include woodland surveys and assessments, forestry planning, planting, pruning and thinning, as well as selective timber harvesting and extraction, to name a few.

We also work to protect the surrounding soil, water and habitats, as well as improve the trees' safety and health. For landowners, we can help improve your timber quality, reduce storm damage risks, and keep your site neat and tidy.

Harvest Planning And Timber Extraction

During our harvest planning and timber extraction service, we plan what to cut, when to cut it, and where our machinery and team will move, so that we don't damage the soil, habitats or access routes.

We'll choose suitable trees for thinning or selective felling, set up safe access routes, and transport the timber away from the site using low-impact methods.

Timber Sales Support

We provide timber sales support to help landowners get fair value from our woodland work.

Since we already carry out woodland surveys and timber harvesting services, we build on this by measuring and grading the timber, choosing the right time to sell, and organising safe loading and collection practices. Doing this means we can waste less timber and ensure landowners get better return values.

Access Tracks And Drainage Work

Our access tracks and drainage work can keep your woodland area safe and workable during all types of weather.

We can plan routes for timber extractions and visit your site to map out wet areas, springs and slopes. We can keep your tracks firm by using brash mats or temporary bridges, and we can protect your drains and watercourses by adding buffers and silt traps.

Invasive Species Control

We provide invasive plant species control services to help keep your woodland healthy and balanced.

We can identify problem plants early on and remove them in small patches at the root. For larger outbreaks, we can implement repeat cutting services or shading when it's suitable. We can also monitor any regrowth, remove the seeds, and replant the area with native plant species to restore the woodland area.

Pests And Disease Management

Our pest and disease management service can be vital for keeping your woodland strong and safe.

We can check the trees for early warning signs, such as dieback, holes in the bark, sawdust, spots on leaves and leaves that drop too soon. We then carefully remove the infected material and dispose of it safely. We also ensure the tools we use are clean to reduce the risk of the disease spreading.

Fire Risk Planning

Our fire risk planning service can help protect your woodland during dry weather. We can conduct site surveys and check for signs of fire hazards and plan suitable access routes.

This service involves us walking around the site, noting down any dry fuel areas, setting up safe working zones, keeping tracks clear for emergency access, and managing any felled timber so that it doesn't build up and create a hazard.

Tree Surveys And Assessments

Our tree surveys and assessments can give you a clear picture of your woodland's health and overall safety.

At Blackdown Treescapes, we can inspect each tree for signs of disease, decay, pests and weak structure. After the initial inspection, we can then create a risk rating and a practical plan for what to do next.

During our survey, we can also record your tree and plant species, their age and size, plus any notes on nearby habitats, drainage and safe access routes.

Woodland Thinning And Pruning

Thinning and pruning can help trees grow better and keep your site safe. At Blackdown Treescapes, we can remove selected branches and small trees, where necessary, so that the remaining trees receive more light and air.

Our thinning and pruning services can lower the risk of disease outbreaks and help your trees grow stronger and healthier. Our services can help clear paths, tracks, and fences, as well as reduce the risk of branches snapping during high winds.

During this process, we'll visit your site, choose which branches or trees to cut, make careful incisions that reduce stress on the tree, and clear away the waste so that the area is left neat and tidy.
