Timber Harvesting, Thinning & Clearfell
Experience You Can Rely On
Roland Forestry provides a complete timber harvesting service for woodland and forestry owners, covering first, second, third and subsequent thinning operations as well as clearfell.
Our experienced team uses specialist harvesting and extraction equipment suited to different site conditions, including low ground pressure forwarding systems where minimising ground disturbance is particularly important. We also have experience working on steep sites where specialist machinery and skilled operators are required.
From felling licence applications and harvesting through to timber extraction and delivery to the sawmill, Roland Forestry can manage the complete harvesting operation. Where required, we can also undertake forest road construction and implement appropriate mitigation measures.
Site Clearance
Specialist Site Clearance Solutions
Roland Forestry provides fast, efficient and cost-effective site clearance services across a wide range of terrains and site types.
Using modern, specialised forestry machinery, our experienced team can harvest, process, extract and move timber and other vegetation from sites efficiently, while taking account of ground conditions, environmental obligations and the future use of the land.
Our site clearance experience includes building and development sites, ash dieback clearance, hedgerow cutting and clearance, fire-damaged forests and scrubland clearance.
Biomass Removal & Chipping
Efficient Recovery of Forestry Biomass
Roland Forestry provides biomass removal and chipping as part of its wider forestry operations, helping forest owners recover additional value from material generated during harvesting.
By combining harvesting, extraction and biomass processing, we can remove and process biomass efficiently, with minimal drying time and without requiring additional infrastructure that could affect forest road access.
Biomass removal can also reduce the need for windrowing, potentially making more of the available ground suitable for replanting and improving the overall utilisation of the site.
