Rodney Helliwell obtained an honours degree in forestry in 1961, with forest soils as his optional subject. After spending some time in private forestry he returned to the University of Wales for a short period to carry out research into factors affecting the natural regeneration of two introduced tree species.

He then spent three years in the landscape section of a County Planning Department before moving to the Nature Conservancy, where he was concerned with the effects of major changes in land use on the conservation value of flora and fauna. When the Nature Conservancy was re-organised in 1973, Mr Helliwell transferred to the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, where he continued his research into the growth of trees and herbs on different soils, and carried out surveys of woodland and montane vegetation.

In 1978 he became an independent consultant, since when he has carried out a variety of survey and advisory work in forestry, ecology, and arboriculture. He acted as terrestrial ecology consultant to the Channel Tunnel project from 1985 to 1996, and has undertaken numerous surveys of trees, woodlands, other vegetation, and problems related to these, throughout the United Kingdom and occasionally elsewhere.
