At Clunside Forestry & Ecology, we provide practical, expert support to woodland owners, land managers, and fellow forestry professionals in the areas that often need specialist attention — from redesigning woodlands and creating operational plans, to securing licences, carrying out habitat assessments, and navigating protected species and HRA requirements.
Whether your focus is commercial, ecological, or a careful balance of both, our forestry consultancy is grounded in decades of hands-on experience, up-to-date regulations, and a practical understanding of how to make woodlands work.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or rethinking an existing woodland, we offer tailored support at any stage. This includes redesigning your woodland, securing licences, creating operational plans, completing habitat assessments, and navigating protected species requirements. We’ll help ensure your project is efficient, compliant, and aligned with your objectives. Get in touch and tell us how we can help. TELL US MORE....
A strong woodland management plan is the foundation of a thriving forest. We develop plans tailored to your goals—whether that’s income generation, biodiversity, recreation, or long-term resilience—while ensuring full compliance with the UK Forestry Standard. Grounded in thorough field-based assessment, our plans are designed to secure felling licences and unlock grant funding where appropriate.
Whether you need a one-off felling licence or a series of consents to implement your woodland management plan, we handle the process for you-start to finish. From site assessment to regulator liaison, we manage applications for felling licences, protected species (such as bats or dormice), and consents for conservation or heritage works. Our goal is to take the burden off you and keep your project moving forward smoothly and compliantly.
Navigating forestry grants can be time-consuming. We help you identify the right funding opportunities for your goals, whether that’s woodland creation, woodland improvement, or biodiversity enhancement. From selecting schemes to preparing applications, we help maximise your funding potential.
If you're looking to improve the ecological value of your woodland, we offer practical strategies that enhance biodiversity while keeping your land productive. This can include modifying management approaches, introducing structural diversity, or supporting habitat creation and connectivity.
We provide clear, concise assessments of woodland condition to inform future management, satisfy grant or scheme requirements, or support planning. Assessments can include health checks, species mix, regeneration potential, threats, and habitat quality.
Creating a new woodland is a major step — and one that needs to be done correctly from the beginning. We’ll guide you through site assessment, species selection, planting design, regulatory compliance, and long-term planning. Whether for commercial return, conservation, or climate mitigation, we help you create woodlands with purpose.
Integrated ecological expertise to support habitat assessment, survey design, conservation planning, and the practical delivery of biodiversity goals. Ideal for landowners and professionals seeking realistic solutions with ecological impact.
