Forestry

Nicholsons offers a comprehensive service to cover anything to do with trees and woodlands, from grant applications and the economics of forestry management to site preparation and planting.

Professional Advice
For more than twenty five years Forestry has been at the heart of our business here at Nicholsons. Our professionally qualified Forestry managers can draw upon unrivalled experience in the creation and maintenance of woodland areas, from single specimen trees to large scale commercial plantations. We are proud to share that expertise with our customers throughout Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties, including Buckinghamshire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Gloucestershire, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire. We are able to offer advice on a broad spectrum of arboricultural matters, including:

Design and planning of new woodland

Assistance with grant applications

Management of existing woodland

Forestry and woodland economics

Conservation and wildlife management

Individual and roadside tree reports

Full Contracting Services
Advising a client on how to manage a project, and then actually knuckling down to do it, are not the same thing at all, except that Nicholsons has the capacity to carry all these ideas forward into the field and make them happen. We are able to offer a comprehensive range of contracting services that cover:

Site Preparation and tilling

Planting, from single trees to extensive woodland

Maintenance and woodland management

Tree surgery and stump grinding

Thinning, felling and harvesting

Hedging

Fencing

Ride and footpath maintenance

Water management, including pond creation

Weed, pest and disease control

Grant Applications
Grants are available for tree planting from a variety of sources, but making the most of their availability can be a convoluted and, at times, confusing process. Through our wide range of contacts we can administer all of the relevant government funding schemes as well as selected private options. We would be pleased, not only to offer advice and explanation, but also to help with the grant application process. Please ask for further details.
