New Woodland working with the Mersey Forest in Cheshire
Interested in Woodland Creation in Cheshire? ELM Associates have project manged 33ha of new woodland projects this last winter and 31ha the year before. We now have a wide range of examples and woodland types ranging in size from 0.4ha to 10ha.
Working with you the woodland creation schemes vary depending on the farm’s objectives, some are focused on screening, others taking poor performing land out of production or linking existing woodlands for wildlife benefits. Establishment can be by planting or natural regeneration and capital costs such as fencing, and gates are 100% covered. The annual payments will match those under EWCO with the Forestry Commission, but the application process is simplified and our agent costs covered.
We have also been trailing biodegradable eco guards and spirals to reduce plastic waste and the need to remove guards and spirals in a few years’ time.
We design the planting for you and can assist with ordering trees and contractors to get the work done.
If you are interested in woodland creation next winter, please get in touch with Jane@elmassociates.co.uk. If you are outside Cheshire we can still help by funding through the English Woodland Creation Scheme.
