Woodland & Forestry
Fully CAA authorised · Nationally operated · Locally delivered
From aerial seeding and canopy surveys to rewilding support and grant scheme mapping, our drone forestry services bring precision and efficiency to woodland management across the UK. Operating under our national CAA authorisation, our locally based operators work in terrain that defeats conventional machinery — delivering accurate, documented results.
Why Choose Drone Services
Drones reach steep hillsides, dense undergrowth and locations inaccessible to vehicles or ground crews.
Seed large areas of ground-prepped or bare terrain quickly with tree seed mixes, grasses and wildflowers.
Multispectral imaging identifies disease, die-back and stress in established woodland before it becomes a significant loss.
Accurate boundary and stocking surveys support Woodland Creation, EWCO and other scheme applications.
Support natural regeneration with targeted seed dispersal, monitoring and vegetation mapping.
All surveys provide georeferenced data, boundary files and reports suitable for grant applications and management plans.
