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.
