Mytholm Forestry Ltd

At Mytholm Forestry Ltd, we believe that every woodland—no matter how neglected—has the potential to become a thriving, biodiverse asset. Led by our principal consultant, Robin Howorth, who brings over 25 years of experience as both a Chartered Forester and a Chartered Surveyor, we bridge the gap between professional land management and environmental stewardship.

Expert Stewardship for Yorkshire and Lancashire

Our roots are firmly planted in the local valleys of Yorkshire and Lancashire. We understand the unique challenges of these regions, where woodland cover is historically low. Whether you represent a community group, a public body, or you are a private landowner, we provide the technical expertise needed to manage rural and urban trees effectively.

"Managed woods have increased biodiversity and provide multiple benefits, from reducing flooding to increasing resilience in the current climate crisis."

Realistic Carbon Storage & Climate Resilience

In an era of unrealistic environmental claims, we stand apart by using the UK Forestry Commission Carbon Code methodology. We don't provide inflated estimates; we provide data-backed assessments of carbon capture. Our management plans focus on:

• Flood Mitigation: Improving understorey and structural diversity to reduce runoff.
• Climate Resilience: Selecting species and management systems that survive the biodiversity crash.
• Habitat Variation: Creating spaces where local wildlife can truly flourish.

Revitalising Neglected Woodlands

Many local woods suffer from poor access or invasive species like laurel, rhododendron, and beech. While these might look green, they often choke out native ecosystems and adversely affect the functioning of the land. We specialise in targeted interventions to remove invasives and restore the health of your woodland, turning a liability into a flourishing natural resource.
