If your forest or woodland isn’t already fully, or even partially managed, poor or limited access can restrict any planned forestry operations. The layout and construction of forest roads and tracks is essential in helping landowners improve site access, enable easier forest management, and speed up the harvesting process.
With our forest road and track services, Repson Timber is fully equipped to carry out the planning and layout of any access routes. While your choice of track can depend on several different on-site factors and constraints, whatever the specification, we can create access tracks or rights of way, forest haulage roadways, or upgrade existing tracks.
Our specialist forestry equipment and machinery, both manual and mechanical, allows us to clear existing sites by felling and removing trees, clearing vegetation, and levelling the proposed areas. We can then spread the soft spoil before tamping down to create the track or the stone road base.
Before undertaking any forest tracks operations, our team works with you to identify any potential environmental constraints – including watercourses, water supplies (public or private), or any features of architectural or special interest – and will refer to the relevant authorities.
And by managing and supervising your forest tracks process from start to finish, our on-site team will consistently look to minimise any environmental impact, working directly with you and within the guidance provided by UKWAS and FISA.
As a fully independent company, Repson Timber has no obligation to any sawmills, contractors, or hauliers. That means we work with you as a local landowner directly, acting on your behalf to prioritise local timber sales on your behalf, quickly and efficiently – with no third parties or middlemen.
