Woodland and Tree, Survey and Management

"Integrating biodiversity whilst optimising putting and playing surface conditions"

Woodland and trees feature heavily on most golf courses
through direct planting and natural succession. Trees can
provide strategic, aesthetic and ecological value but they can also compromise playing surface condition.

With over 20 years experience in woodland and tree management the Ecology & Environment Unit has an
unparalleled expertise in recognising and dealing with problem trees and in getting the most from trees in strategic design.

We provide:

• Tree/Woodland Assessments.

• Hedgerow and Woodland Condition Surveys.

• Advice on Tree Thinning/Removal and Planting.

• Design Plans for New Woodlands.

• Management Plans for New and Established Trees and Woodlands.

• Problem trees.

• Planning.
