ROOTED IN EXPERIENCE. GROWING FOR THE FUTURE.
ACTIVE Forestry is an independent forestry consultancy based in Yorkshire, led by Wayne Scurrah — a forestry professional with over 40 years of hands-on experience. We work with private estates, farmers, landowners and land agents to deliver tailored woodland solutions that balance ecology, economy and long-term stewardship.
OUR STORY
Originally founded as Scurrah Associates Ltd, the business has grown through word of mouth, trusted relationships and a reputation for doing things properly. In 2025, we rebranded as ACTIVE Forestry — a name that reflects our forward-thinking approach and the next chapter of our journey.
WHAT SETS US APART

Ecologically Aware: With in-house ecological expertise, we ensure your woodland work supports biodiversity and complies with wildlife legislation.
Local and Personal: Based in Yorkshire, we understand the land, the people, and the pressures you face.
