Ashley started out as a farm cadet and moved into forestry and transport. Not one to be found in the office, Ashley has turned his hard-won experience in the field as a forester, silviculturalist and cross-cutter into a solid sound advisory source for clients finding their way through forests.  His down-to-earth approach helps clients understand the practical realities of planting, pruning, tending and recovering forests for the future.  This, together with his canny approach to forestry business deals, gives clients a sound platform to work from.
