Retained Consultant
Many owners enjoy managing their woodlands themselves, or employ staff to do so. However, sometimes woodland owners feel the need for expert advice on an occasional basis, or require us to undertake specific aspects of management. In these cases we tailor our input to suit our client's needs but some examples are given below:
- Drawing up annual work programmes and advising on implementation through quarterly, half-yearly or annual visits
- Preparing long-term plans and Grant Scheme applications
- Assisting with getting a woodland ready for certification
- Preparing and implementing harvesting plans and marketing the timber
- Providing technical advice on specific silvicultural challenges
This service enables owners to retain close control and direct involvement with their woodlands, whilst still enalbling them to benefit from the experience, contacts and market knowledge which we as full-time professionals can provide.
