Woodland & Forestry Management
Caring for Woodlands with Expertise, Sustainability & Vision
Sustainable woodland care and forestry services that protect, enhance, and future-proof natural assets.
At Killingley, we provide complete woodland and forestry management services for estates, local authorities, commercial clients, and conservation projects. From planting and thinning to long-term maintenance and biodiversity enhancement, our teams deliver tailored solutions that ensure woodlands remain healthy, productive, and resilient for generations to come.
As part of our wider Grounds Maintenance services, we integrate woodland and forestry management with grass cutting, arboriculture, and ecological support. This joined-up approach means we can deliver not only thriving woodlands but also cohesive, well-managed landscapes across estates and public spaces.

Tree Planting & Establishment – Large-scale planting, semi-mature trees, and understorey planting schemes.
Thinning & Selective Felling – Promoting healthier growth, reducing overcrowding, and improving woodland structure.
