Green Page

We’re trying hard to have as ‘green’ a practice as possible. Here’s some of the things we’re doing to achieve this:

• We actively preserve living trees especailly ancient or veteran living trees.
• We plant trees wherever possible, we especially like finding spaces for big native trees like oak and Scots pines.
• We plant wildlife friendly native woodland hedges.
• We recycle woodchips.
• We use a woodmill to convert felled trees into usable timber.
• We supply local woodturners with high quality wood.
• We create habitat piles in quiet corners to provide a refuge for small animals like frogs, insects and hedgehogs.
• We try to leave wildlife friendly standing dead wood, where appropriate.
• We cycle to work as much as possible, especially when viewing jobs.
• We use biodegradable fuel oil in our chainsaws.
• We put up bird, bat, owl and squirrel boxes in trees wherever possible.
• We actively preserve living trees.
