Woodland & Forestry Ltd · Lee’s experience since 1992
Low impact woodland management since 1992
Thirty years of hand felling, thinning, extraction and restoration for landowners, farms, estates and shoots — done in a way that leaves the ground as we found it.
Woodland & Forestry Ltd has more than thirty years of practical land-based experience across Staffordshire and neighbouring areas.
Forestry work is paused for now
General forestry and tree-surgery enquiries are not being accepted at present. These pages remain available as a record of the team, its experience and the work it has carried out.
Responsible local work
Past projects were assessed individually so access, ground conditions, wildlife constraints and the intended woodland outcome could be considered before work was agreed.
What we do
What this side of the
business has done
Thirty years of it. The log stores we still build to order — the woodland work is paused, but the experience behind the firewood hasn’t gone anywhere.
Woodland management
Felling, thinning, forwarding and extraction, ride creation, coppice restoration and infrastructure. Paused for now — get in touch and we’ll point you to someone local we trust.
What this involved
Where the firewood comes from
Thirty years in woodland is why we know good timber when we see it. These days we buy from local contractors, The National Forest and a large UK woodland management company, then cut and split it ourselves.
Shop firewood
Bespoke log stores
Made-to-measure stores built to keep next season dry, sized to the space you actually have and delivered locally. Still very much available.

If it involves a chainsaw

Rhododendron clearance,
done by hand
Manual rhododendron clearance is slow, awkward, unpopular work — and it’s what we’re known for. No heavy machinery churning through sensitive ground, no chemical shortcuts where they aren’t wanted.
We follow it through properly: once the rhododendron is out, we carry on into game bird habitat enhancement so the ground actually earns its keep afterwards.
Who we work for
From one awkward tree to a whole estate
