Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Forestry and Conservation Consultants


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As a forestry or conservation consultant, having insurance is crucial to protect you when assessing woodlands, wildlife habitats and other sites. Our specialist public liability insurance provides cover if someone is injured or a client’s property is damaged while you conduct surveys. For example, you could be liable if a landowner trips over equipment you left on-site, leading to an injury claim.

Professional Saver offers comprehensive insurance packages for forestry and conservation consultants, protecting you, your clients and the general public.

Why Do Forestry and Conservation Consultants Need Insurance?

As a forestry or conservation consultant, your advice must be accurate as it can directly impact sensitive ecosystems, landscapes and rare species. However, mistakes can happen, and without insurance, just one error leading to significant ecological damage or loss of crops could leave you facing substantial payouts to landowners.

Our public liability policies give you complete peace of mind that your insurer will deal with any injury, damage or financial loss claims caused by your advice. Professional Saver offers forestry and conservation insurance starting from just £54* per year.

What is Forestry and Conservation Consultancy Insurance?

We cater policies for professionals who guide landowners, councils, conservation charities and similar across areas like:

  • Woodland, forest and tree management
  • Wildlife and habitat conservation planning
  • Protected species regulation and licensing
  • Countryside access compliance and management
  • Funding bids, sustainability audits and impact assessments

Our insurance focuses on public liability and professional indemnity risks from standard consultancy activities like surveying sites, producing habitat management plans and providing expert testimony at public enquiries. For example:

  • Crops, trees or habitats are lost because you gave poor advice
  • You cause a landowner to get injured during an on-site property visit

What Does the Insurance Cover?

Our forestry and conservation consultant policies can provide protection against:

  • Public Liability – Covers any injury or property damage caused while visiting and assessing sites. For example, injuring a landowner through negligence while surveying their property or accidentally damaging a fence during fieldwork.
  • Professional Indemnity (optional)– Provides protection if your specialist advice leads to financial loss for a client. For example, inaccurate tree treatment guidance causes lost crops, or flawed habitat management planning fails to prevent ecological damage. Our policy covers resulting loss of income claims.
  • Legal Expenses – Pays your legal costs and provides specialist legal representation if you face civil claims resulting from your alleged negligence. It helps defend against demands for large sums of financial compensation.
  • Business Equipment Insurance (optional) – Replaces lost, stolen or damaged items when visiting sites. It covers all equipment used for field surveys and assessments like quad bikes, testing kits and cameras.

Cover For Temporary and Contract Staff

Our insurance can extend to cover any temporary staff, freelancers or contractors you use to help with surveys, assessments or reporting. This ensures you and any personnel conducting work under your business name are protected against injury, damage and financial loss claims.

We offer varying cover levels to choose from to fit your specific business needs. Simply fill out our quick online form for your quote.

FAQs

Forestry and Conservation Consultants Insurance FAQs

Forestry and conservation consultants are vulnerable to negligence claims because landowners rely on their advice to manage sensitive sites sustainably while still generating revenue. One piece of inaccurate advice leading to substantial ecological damage or lost crops risks significant payouts without insurance.

Examples of losses we cover include:

  • Inaccurate tree treatment guidance causing crop failure
  • Poor drainage solutions leading to flooding and damaged sensitive wetland habitats
  • Pest control oversight allowing species like deer or grey squirrels to overpopulate and negatively impact native flora and fauna

Our optional professional indemnity insurance aims to cover loss of income claims from landowners or ecological damage costs in scenarios like these across common consulting areas.

We cover consultancy services like:

  • Tree, soil and water management
  • Pest, disease and weed control planning
  • Biodiversity protection and improvement
  • Funding bids and sustainability planning
  • Countryside access compliance and management

Essentially, we cover claims stemming from inaccurate or flawed recommendations relating to revenue generation and ecological sustainability.

Yes – our policies extend to any temporary staff, freelancers or sub-contractors conducting work under your business name. For example, if an ecologist you hire overlooks an invasive species which damages protected habitats, our insurance helps cover the financial claim made as a result.
