    Try Greenbelt. Sorry no idea on the potential pitfalls.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    I'd keep an eye on this overall price per acre for planting and maintenance some companies price the reforestation jobs.

    The single or overall price can sometimes push companies to cut corners to get the job done. Especially for the maintenance side of the contract.

    Watch out for the size of plants specified aswell, always go for big plants, 50+ cm stock. Amazing the difference good quality plants make, an easy way to save money for a forestry company on a quote is to plant small trees but you the owner loose out in the long run.

    Have you considered taking the brash off the site? Should save some money on the reforestation costs if it can be done, which part of the country are you based in?
