Forest Establishment
If you are thinking of planting, FRMS can meet you on site to discuss the different options available to you and outline the various grants and premium available. Should you decide to plant we can process the application and manage all work to year 4, at which time the forest will be fully established. Forest Resource Management Services endeavor to ensure that landowners maximise the potential of forestry on their lands through professional management services.
