Woodland creation and carbon

Woodlands hold a significant place in our ecosystem, providing substantial environmental benefits through carbon sequestration, air pollution removal, and essential habitats for biodiversity. They also provide essential benefits for landowners, including mitigating flood risks, protecting livestock and crops from adverse weather, and diversifying income streams through the sale of timber and independently verified carbon credits. Our land specialists help landowners realise the value of their natural capital through woodland creation, navigate available funding, and verify and broker carbon units.

Woodland creation services

Strategic advice

Our forestry experts provide clients with strategic advice on woodland creation, including financial modelling to assess long-term investment opportunities, as well as marketing and sales strategies. We can facilitate the registration and verification of Woodland Carbon Units accredited under the Woodland Carbon Code, providing buyers with evidence that you’re offering high-quality carbon savings that are real, quantifiable, and permanent.

We can also help secure public and private funding to ensure your projects are financially viable from inception. This includes navigating the many public grants and financial incentives available for woodland creation, maintenance, and management, or matching you with investors seeking new planting sites to generate carbon credits for sale.

Carbon sequestration assessment

Whether you're looking to integrate trees into farmed areas by using marginal areas for new planting projects, or create new woodlands on a more significant scale, our specialists can guide you on the current and future carbon storage of proposed planting schemes by determining carbon stocks and validating sequestration rates over time.

Environmental project management

Our nationwide team of Chartered Surveyors and Chartered Foresters are well-versed in woodland creation and project management, and has several woodland creation projects underway with landowners across England and Scotland. We support clients in establishing and managing woodland for biodiversity enhancement, rewilding, and ecological improvement, alongside timber production, and offer support throughout the life-cycle of your forestry investments.

The right land for the right purpose

Our long history of working alongside farmers means that we recognise tree planting cannot come at the expense of a thriving agricultural sector, nor is tree planting appropriate in environmentally sensitive areas. We work with landowners to ensure the right tree is planted in the right place, for the right reason.
