The reduction in arable land and increased grants has encouraged many landowners to look to woodlands as a profitable option. However, planting fertile land brings its own set of problems, such as protection and weed control. Wessex Woodland Management with its wealth of experience in planting and after care, can advise and implement planting schemes on land from .25 ha up to 40 ha.

Another area in which our forestry staff are becoming increasingly involved is the creation and management of hedgerows. These have come under close scrutiny over the past few years and the benefits to both wildlife and agriculture is increasingly being recognised.

Another sector that has become a potential option for farmers is the creation of golf courses. Projects such as these require strategic planting and WWM can once again advise on and implement these programs.
