Recently, we have undertaken a range of forestry management jobs including the removal of woodland without disturbing ecologically important calcareous grasses and extracting timber form above badger setts. We offer considerate and effective solutions to offer the most effective forestry management for you.

Planting

Planting Schemes

Three Shires offer both mechanized and manual planting options. We can cater for any requirement from small landscape scheme creation to large scale production reforestation.

Our mechanical planting systems enable us to reduce the time-frame required when compared with manual planting operations. In late season planting this can make the difference between completing a job prior to the transplants awakening from dormancy.

Where larger scale and semi mature transplants are required we will usually incorporate auger preparation of planting site, we have plant to enable efficient distribution of transplants, compost and protection materials onto any site. Read On
