Cawdor Forestry provides high quality forest management services, based on effective long term planning and using the latest technology to increase overall efficiency. Our clients include public and private sector woodland owners across Scotland, including some of the largest private estates in the Highlands.

Management Planning

Cawdor Forestry specialises in long term planning, based on accurate crop information, to provide the detailed budgets and accurate work programmes necessary for efficient management.

Mapping and Geographic Information Systems

Cawdor Forestry has linked digital mapping, database and 3D visualisation software to provide one of the most effective management tools available. Using the latest technology to gather and store complex forest information allows data to be accessed and updated easily and presented in many different formats.

Forest Design

Working with specialised forest landscape architects Cawdor Forestry can produce designs for planting, regeneration and long term felling plans for the most sensitive landscapes. Quality designs, presented in the form of realistic photo-visualisations, can help gain the approvals needed quickly and with minimal amendments.

Timber Marketing

Competitive timber marketing is essential to achieving the best returns for woodland owners in an increasingly difficult market. Cawdor Forestry maintains constant contact with timber markets and sells over 30,000 tonnes of timber a year.

Harvesting

We provide full supervision of all forestry operations to ensure high standards are maintained, managing health and safety and matching appropriate contractors and machinery to the site.

With up-to-date knowledge of the woodland grant schemes, Cawdor Forestry makes sure woodland owners take advantage of the full range of grants and incentives available to them. Our understanding of what is required combined with our systems for presenting quality proposals that are readily amended means our clients can access grants efficiently

Certification

Cawdor Forestry's practical approach to woodland certification makes it affordable, stratightforward and beneficial to most woodland owners. We have helped some of the largest private estates in Scotland achieve certification to the UKWAS standard, ensuring they maintain access to very competitive timber markets.
