Welcome to Microsite – Helping Nature, Communities & Businesses Thrive
Tree Planting and Woodland Creation
Microsite delivers woodland creation projects that improve biodiversity, support planning and environmental objectives, and provide long term value for landowners, developments, and public sector organisations.
We work across urban, rural, and peri-urban settings to design and deliver woodlands that are appropriate to the land, resilient over time, and practical to manage.
Woodland creation is the process of establishing new woodland in locations where it delivers clear environmental, social, or land management benefits.
This can form part of Biodiversity Net Gain delivery, environmental mitigation, regeneration schemes, or long term land use strategies. Successful woodland creation depends on correct site selection, species choice, and long term planning.
Microsite takes a practical approach, focused on creating woodlands that establish properly and continue to function well into the future.
On development and infrastructure projects, woodland creation often supports planning conditions, environmental commitments, or wider landscape strategies.
Microsite works with project teams to ensure woodland creation is:
Integrated into site layouts and masterplans
Compatible with utilities, access, and safety requirements
Aligned with construction programmes
Deliverable within planning and BNG frameworks
This includes both on-site woodland creation and support for off-site woodland delivery where required.
• Tree planting aligned with planning and BNG requirements
• Structured planting for new housing developments
• Enhancement planting within existing residential areas
• Species and soil suitability planning
• Establishment and aftercare coordination
Woodland creation is also a key option for landowners and estates looking to diversify land use, improve biodiversity, or contribute to environmental schemes.
Microsite works with landowners to develop woodland creation projects that:
Suit soil conditions and site characteristics
Complement existing land use
Deliver long term environmental value
Remain practical to manage over time
Our work supports landowners beyond traditional farming, including estates and organisations with available land.
Effective woodland creation starts with understanding the land.
Microsite supports woodland creation through:
Site and soil assessment
Woodland design and layout
Species selection suited to location and purpose
Ground preparation and planting planning
This ensures woodland projects are resilient, diverse, and capable of long term success.
Creating a woodland does not stop at planting.
Microsite focuses on successful establishment by supporting:
Practical planting and installation
Protection measures where required
Early stage management and aftercare
Integration with wider land management plans
This reduces failure rates and improves long term outcomes.
Woodland creation often forms part of Biodiversity Net Gain delivery, particularly for off-site schemes.
Microsite supports woodland creation that contributes to:
BNG habitat creation and enhancement
Long term biodiversity units
Planning compliant environmental delivery
Our approach ensures woodland creation aligns with both ecological and practical requirements.
Microsite does not replace ecological consultants or planning authorities.
Instead, we work alongside them, providing practical input that supports:
Ecological reports and recommendations
Planning submissions and conditions
Delivery planning and sequencing
Long term management considerations
This collaborative approach helps bridge the gap between reports and delivery.
If you are planning a woodland creation project as part of a development, land management strategy, or environmental scheme, Microsite can support design, delivery, and long term planning.
