We provide an independent forestry asset management and consultancy service across the UK to investors and owners of large and multiple forest holdings. Our goal is to ensure smooth, efficient management, and the best possible returns on investments.

Our experienced team of forestry consultants and land agents can help you establish objectives; set up the business, financial and reporting structures; then engage and supervise local forest management resources to common standards – and provide a single point of contact.

A one-stop shop for forestry maintenance, development and sales

Our forestry consultants apply more than 100 years of combined investment, valuation and management experience to maximising forestry assets, allowing you to benefit from forest, woodland and inventory audits, reviews and valuations; long, medium and short-term business planning; guidance on long-term timber sales contracts; comprehensive financial reporting and market forecasts; plus transactional services if you choose to sell. Our specialist consultants also deal with arboricultural risk management and tree safety surveys, including BS 5837 surveys on development sites.

We also work closely with our fellow Savills rural specialists to access additional capabilities in finance, GIS mapping, planning and development, valuation and surveying. The strength and scope of these extended resources, allied to our forestry specialisations, allows us to provide exceptional service.

Being independent of timber markets or management companies, our services are objective and built around your requirements.
