Forestry, woodland & arboriculture
Whilst woodland has always formed the core of many estates, its value has often been dictated by a number of, often competing, factors: sporting interests, commerciality, amenity or biodiversity. Over the previous generation, for many, the silvicultural management of broadleaf woodlands has simply not made economic sense.
However, in recent years, the increased timber value has made management work more feasible, and there has been a renewed focus on natural capital and the role it can play in carbon capture. This has encouraged many landowners to reassess their woodland holding and consider the benefits of a more active management approach.
Whether you currently own woodland, or are thinking of buying, planting or selling, Carter Jonas can help you.
