Who we are

Founded in 1995 and based in Chelmsford, Essex, Writtle Forest Consultancy Ltd. delivers expert consulting and practical services in a range of fields including arboriculture, woodland, and ecology. While we primarily serve clients across London, the Home Counties, and the East of England, our work frequently extends throughout the UK.

We work with a wide range of clients — including private landowners, estates, developers, and local authorities — on projects of all scales. Our expertise covers planning and development, as well as land management, biodiversity enhancement, and natural capital assessment.

Whether advising on an urban development or restoring a rural woodland, we focus on delivering practical, tailored solutions that meet our clients’ objectives while upholding the ecological and arboricultural integrity of each site.
