Forestry & Agricultural Supplies

Forestry Equipment for Tree, Land and Field Measurement

Forestry supplies are used across woodland management, arboriculture, estate work, agriculture and field surveying. Some instruments are designed specifically for measuring trees, while others support distance, slope, soil and general land measurement.

Choosing the correct type of equipment first makes it easier to compare individual models and specifications.

Tree Diameter and Bark Measurement

Tree diameter is one of the most common measurements taken during forestry assessment and woodland management.

Our Forestry Calipers include manual and digital options for measuring tree diameter in the field. Different sizes and electronic functions are available depending on the amount of data that needs to be collected and recorded.

For measuring the thickness of bark, Bark Gauges provide a more specific tool for forestry assessment.

These instruments can be used alongside other forestry measuring equipment where several characteristics of standing trees need to be recorded during the same site visit.

Range Finders and Clinometers

Distance, height and slope measurements are also common in forestry and land work.

Range Finders provide distance measurements for trees, land features and other visible targets. Depending on the model, additional functions such as height measurement, inclination, GPS or Bluetooth may also be available.

For measuring slope and inclination, Clinometers provide equipment for field-based angle and height-related measurement.

These tools can support tree assessment, terrain checks, woodland access planning and other outdoor measurement tasks where distance, height or slope needs to be recorded.

Increment Borers and Increment Hammers

Increment Borers are specialist forestry tools used to remove a narrow core sample from a tree for further examination.

Different borer sizes are available to suit different tree and sampling requirements, along with supporting equipment for maintaining and using the tools.

The range also includes Increment Hammers for forestry applications requiring this type of sampling equipment.

When selecting tree core sampling tools, the dimensions of the instrument and the intended field method should be considered before choosing a model.

Forestry Measuring Equipment

Our Forestry Measuring range includes equipment for practical measurement and recording in woodland and field environments.

Products include measuring tapes and other instruments used for tree, plot and land measurement. These can support routine forestry work where distances, diameters or other field dimensions need to be checked and recorded.

The most suitable measuring tool depends on the dimension being measured and whether the work requires a direct physical measurement or an electronic reading.

Soil Sampling Equipment

Forestry and land assessment can also involve collecting soil samples from selected locations.

Soil Samplers provide manual tools for collecting samples at different depths. They can be used for forestry, agricultural and environmental fieldwork where soil material needs to be collected for later examination or testing.

Sampler length and the required sampling depth should be considered when choosing between available options.

Forestry Accessories

Supporting forestry equipment is available through our Forestry Accessories range.

This includes products for field marking, identifying locations and supporting routine forestry measurement work. Marking tape and related equipment can be useful for identifying trees, plots, routes, sample locations and working areas across larger sites.

Choosing Forestry Equipment

The best forestry equipment depends on the task being carried out. Before selecting an instrument, consider whether the work involves:

• Tree diameter or bark measurement
• Distance or height measurement
• Slope and inclination
• Tree core sampling
• Soil sampling
• General land measurement
• Field marking and identification

Portability is also important because equipment may need to be carried between trees, plots or other measurement points across uneven ground.

For digital equipment, additional features such as Bluetooth, GPS, data storage and compatible accessories may also be relevant depending on how field information will be recorded.
