Expert timber harvesting and thinning services that enhance woodland health, promote biodiversity and maximise timber yield.

Benefits

Thinning woodlands for the future

Thinning is a forestry practice that involves selectively removing trees to improve the health and growth of the remaining trees. It's a common silvicultural practice that can have many benefits, including:

Get In Touch

Encouraging tree growth

Achieved through the process of thinning, which reduces competition for light, water, and nutrients, allowing the remaining trees to thrive.
Improving stability

Thinning can strengthen the roots and stems of trees, which can reduce the risk of wind damage.
Reducing the impact of disease

Thinning can alleviate the impact of tree diseases, such as Dothistroma needle blight, by increasing air movement and reducing humidity.
Providing habitat for wildlife

Thinning allows more light to reach the forest floor, which encourages the growth of diverse ground flora. Decaying wood habitats can be created and enhanced by retaining some elements of the thinned trees.
Diversifying age structure

Thinning can encourage the development of understory, which in turn diversifies the age structure of a woodland, which can then provide a wider range of habitats for different wildlife.
Increasing the timber return

Thinning at 5 to 10 year intervals and at an appropriate intensity, will increase the volume of timber than a woodland can produce during its typical rotation period.
