About Us
Forests.co.uk is a run by a team of woodland specialists across the UK, who have been working in and managing woodlands for over 35+ years. Our network of agents across the country provide expert local knowledge in helping buyers and sellers throughout their woodland journey.
Richard Scholfield, who is an ecologist by background, has been involved since the inception of Forests.co.uk and continues to provide support and advice to clients and agents alike. He personally manages over 20 woodlands for conservation and enjoyment.
Making buying and selling easy
Our mission is to make buying and selling a woodland as a simple as possible. We try to make sales particulars clear and informative, setting out all the key features of a woodland, including clearly marking the boundaries. We market forests and woodlands using our extensive mailing list, the website and local advertising through signage. We also assist throughout the conveyancing process.
New type of woodland owners
A key objective is to widen the demographic of woodland owners in the UK, opening up the opportunity to own woodland to individuals and families. New and enthusiastic owners often breath fresh life into a woodland, managing it in a very “hands on” way, for conservation and enjoyment. This model of ‘Family Forestry’ often involves a long-term view, with the woodland often staying within a family for multiple generations.
Wider woodland ownership, for the long term
All of the people involved in Forests.co.uk enjoy and care about British woodlands and love being out in the woods and enabling others to spend more time outdoors. We don't just want to sell your woodland for you - we want it to go to a good owner. Through facilitating woodland sales, we hope to encourage more people to own, enjoy and conserve their own forest or woodland. We sell to individuals, families, groups and organisations.
