If you own or manage woodland in Yorkshire, our specialist team at Active Forestry can help you maximise the potential of your land; from tree planting and woodland creation to woodland management, grants, and tree health support, including ash dieback solutions.
Yorkshire’s diverse landscapes; from the rolling dales and moorlands to its wood-pasture and river valleys, require knowledgeable forestry guidance. We understand the unique environmental, regulatory, and financial opportunities available here, and we work directly with landowners, farmers, estates, and community groups to deliver practical, sustainable woodland outcomes.
