Woodland Creation

Nicholsons has been helping farmers and landowners in the creation of new areas of woodland for nearly 30 years.

The process of woodland creation at Nicholsons starts with the all-important first meeting with the client. At this meeting the objectives of the planting scheme are set. Typical objectives can include Landscape improvement, enhancement or creation of a shoot, screening, shelter and long term timber production.

Who pays??
Nicholsons is able to apply for government funding under the English Woodland Grant Scheme. This is a competitive process and it is at this stage that our long experience can significantly enhance the possibility of grant approval. This is especially true when an individual is considering planting a new native woodland.

What will it look like??
However you want it! Much of our work over the last ten years has been involved in the creation of new native woodlands meeting the criteria of the Forestry Commissions Bulletin 112 involving the use of sinuous planting lines and variable density planting.

Nicholsons is not only able to assist the landowner with the effective establishment of new woodland, but using the resources of our 25 acre nursery, based at North Aston in Oxfordshire, we can guarantee the quality of the young trees we use, as well as offer a comprehensive post-planting maintenance service.
