Geoff Ham Tree Services offers expert woodland creation and planting services tailored to your land and vision. Whether you’re looking to enhance wildlife habitats, improve carbon capture, or simply add natural beauty to your property, we’re here to guide you from start to finish. Our team works closely with you to select the right tree species, prepare the site properly, and plant with care - laying the foundations for healthy, thriving woodland that benefits both people and nature.
Creating new woodland is one of the most impactful ways to support biodiversity, combat climate change, and improve your land. Our woodland creation and planting services offer a complete, end-to-end solution - from site assessment and design to planting and aftercare - tailored to landowners, farmers, public bodies, and conservation projects across the UK. Whether you're restoring an ancient woodland site, converting agricultural land, or planting trees as part of a rewilding or offsetting initiative, we bring the ecological knowledge, technical expertise, and hands-on experience needed to make your vision a success.
Funding is available through various government-backed schemes, and we can help you navigate the process. This includes writing and submitting grant applications, drawing up Woodland Creation Design Plans (WCDPs), and liaising with the Forestry Commission.
We prioritise the use of native species - such as oak, birch, hazel, hawthorn, and rowan -to encourage rich, self-sustaining ecosystems. Our designs are sensitive to local biodiversity and tailored to the land’s topography, soil conditions, and climate. Where appropriate, we also integrate features such as glades, rides, and wetland buffers to maximise habitat diversity. After planting, the first few years are crucial to the success of a new woodland. We offer ongoing maintenance services including weed control, re-planting where necessary, shelter inspection, and growth monitoring. We’re also happy to train your team or volunteers in basic maintenance tasks.
In addition, we take a landscape-led approach to every project, ensuring your woodland integrates seamlessly into the surrounding environment while meeting long-term ecological, recreational, or commercial goals. We can help you incorporate multifunctional features such as agroforestry elements, woodland pasture, or educational zones - enhancing both productivity and public engagement.
Our team understands the evolving challenges of land management, from increasing climate resilience to meeting sustainability targets. That’s why we stay up to date with the latest guidance and best practices in tree health, biosecurity, and habitat connectivity. Each project is carried out with an emphasis on resilience, ensuring that the woodland we establish today will thrive for generations to come.
Whether your aim is carbon offsetting, natural flood management, or simply leaving a legacy for future generations, Geoff Ham Tree Services is your trusted partner in responsible, high-quality woodland creation.
