Forestry

ICD Contracting maintains woodlands and forests for timber production, carbon capture, and environmental management initiatives. We also maintain woodland corridors for utility and infrastructure companies.  Our approach aims to balance environmental, economic, and social goals in line with our clients’ objectives. Chemical and hand weeding, re-spacing, singling, and brashing all help to improve tree growth and reduce competition. Restocking or “beating up” of failed trees or damaged areas ensures consistent growth and prevents the loss of grants or the need for more expensive replanting in future.
