Woodland management advice

Offering advice on the management of woodland and, in partnership with others, promoting the conservation and enhancement of Suffolk’s woodlands.


At Suffolk County Council, we provide information to help people make the most of Suffolk’s woodlands.

We will prepare management plans for private woodland, provide technical advice and administer grants. We also offer independent liaison between woodland owners and contractors, find outlets for woodland products, and we can organise suitable contractors to work in private woodlands and supervise their work.

We raise awareness by preparing promotional material and by organising technical and good practice events. We wish to see local communities involved in the management of their own environment and will provide advice and support for voluntary groups to develop community woodland initiatives.

This includes:
  • Anglian Woodland Project;
  • facilitating sources of external funding;
  • Forestry Commission;
  • strengthening people’s enjoyment of woodlands; and
  • the Greenlight Trust.
