Forestry

With over 5,300 acres of woodland, our forestry team work sensitively to protect and enhance the landscape.

Under the Welbeck Woodland Management Plan, our highly skilled forestry team regularly conduct necessary woodland thinning to help improve timber stocks and ensure wildlife strives within our landscape. A selection of felled timber from across the estate is then used to produce renewable heat for Welbeck Abbey, multiple commercial office spaces, two of our holiday lets, and twenty-four residential properties. 

Nestled within Sherwood Forest

The mixed broadleaf (65%) and conifer (35%) woodlands at Welbeck extend to approximately 1,300 hectares.

In January 2024, Welbeck entered an ambitious Countryside Stewardship (CS) Higher Tier Woodland Only agreement. The Stewardship agreement will help steer the management of Welbeck’s woodlands for the next five years and requires collaborative work between the Estate’s Woods and Game departments.
