HABITAT RESTORATION
Commercial treework associated with development work from new-build housing to transport infrastructure is having an increasing impact on the environment. Legal protection for individual species, combined with planning conditions means that habitat management, restoration and creation is becoming increasingly important.
Tree Craft Ltd. has a history of involvement with development schemes where the work of environmentally and ecologically aware arborists has played a key role in the successful completion of contracts with restrictive planning conditions.
Habitat management, restoration and creation can involve a range of proactive measures like:
- Installation of nest and roost boxes
- Construction of log piles
- Resurrection of standing trunks
- Creation of monoliths
- Veteranisation or maiden trees to create bridge habitats
- Retrenchment pruning using coronet cuts and specialised reduction techniques planned over a period of years
Advice on management plans and job specifications can be provided by ArborEcology Ltd. Site supervision under license from English Nature and training can also be provided.
