Forestry and woodlands

We own and manage a large estate of woodlands across North Somerset and ensure its protection for you and its native wildlife.

We work closely with local interest groups, local councils and the Forestry Commission to maintain the 160 hectares (400 acres) under our control in an environmentally-friendly way.

We run a nature conservation programme to protect their heritage features and promote educational and community participation in local projects through our Ranger Service.

However, our services do not include felling or pruning trees (unless it is part of the management plan) or carrying out this work on private woodlands.

For more information download our woodland management service standards or contact our Streets and Open Spaces service.
