Hello. I’m Tom, your guide.

Your land should feel
like a possibility.

I’m Tom, the founder of The Acres Guide. I started it because I enjoy helping people feel confident caring for their land, make room for wildlife and avoid unnecessary costs. My background is in land management, conservation, forestry and practical countryside work, and I love wildlife and practical land care. I help landowners and smallholding owners make sense of their fields, paddocks, ponds, woodland and private grounds — whether the questions came with a move or have been building for years.

You don’t need to know what to call it, or have a grand plan for it. We can start with the things you’ve noticed and the questions you’ve been turning over. If you’d like more wildlife on your land, I can help with that too, from wildflower and wildlife meadows to pollinator-friendly areas and habitat improvements.

If you’d like me to come out, I offer site visits across North West England, North Wales and Yorkshire, including Cheshire and Lancashire. We’ll walk your land and talk it through together. If a call suits you better, I also offer remote guidance using your own photos and videos.

Either way, I’ll help you think about what needs attention, what can wait and what fits the time and budget you have.

I’ll explain things plainly. I’ll tell you when you need a specialist, and when you don’t need to spend money at all. You don’t need to turn your land into a full-time job.

Let’s make sense of your land, together.
Tom
