Woodland Creation

ESN(F)

The ESN(F) investment portfolio of forestry and renewable energy assets spans Scotland and northern England

By understanding your objectives and taking a holistic approach to analysing potential planting sites, we’ll match the right proposal with the right land.

There are many nuances to take into consideration – altitude, rainfall, biodiversity, archaeology - before a sapling is even planted. Our wide skill-set and years of experience means we have a wide pool of knowledge on which to draw.

Our trusted independent, transparent advice delivers real opportunities for a sound investment - whether seeking a commercial or native woodland scheme. We know our way around the regulatory and grants system and how forestry can enhance an integrated rural business.

The green credentials that come with woodland creation cannot be undersold with trees providing excellent carbon off-setting / in-setting and sustainable investment opportunities. Whether creating woodland on your own land or seeking to invest in planting schemes, we can help.

We’ll take the uncertainty out of the planting approvals process and, at the other end, maximise the value when it is time to sell as timber stock or investment opportunity.
