Well established

With over 25 years forestry and woodland management experience, Gordon Purdie established Acres Wild Woodlands as a limited company in 2009.

Sustainable woodland management

We have 30 years experience in forestry and woodland management. We try to promote more sustainable woodland management practices and encourage new woodland expansion and we manage our own small woodlands. We are contractors for the Forestry Commission’s Tree Health Contract across many areas of England where we survey for a range of tree pests and diseases.

Respecting the Environment

We avoid pesticide use, employing practical and proven alternatives for successful tree establishment for example. We are committed to upholding the UK Woodland Assurance Standard, including our commitment to the protection and maintenance of the long term ecological integrity of all woodlands we manage or are involved with.

Our own woods in Scotland are to be restored from a former Sitka spruce clearfell site to a more robust native woodland mix using both planting of new trees and encouraging natural regeneration, and will including several new wildlife ponds.

Organisations we support

We support the work of woodland restoration charities including Tree Aid in Africa and the wonderful Caledonian forest restoration and expansion work of Trees For Life
