Woodsman has decades of experience assisting local and national utilities companies with tree and vegetation management.
With a wide range of stakeholder expectations, utility companies must balance safe and efficient tree management with environmental and budgetary constraints. We can maximise your tree amenity and wildlife value. Costs are minimised through strategic management of site risks and assets.
We have the confidence to minimise tree removals and remedial works where safe to do so, saving you valuable resources.
