About the woodland management project in Swindon
A number of woodland blocks exist in the south-east Swindon area, many of which have had little or no management since their planting in the 1970s and 80s. The aim of this ongoing project is to thin these woodlands, remove unwanted or dangerous trees and to improve their biodiversity.
Firewood was extracted for use in local markets, but a proportion of the felled trees were left within the woodlands to enhance their environmental and ecological value. The project was started in April 2012 and spread over three years, incorporating Shaftesbury Lakes, Liden, Eldene and the nearby areas. In the following years, woodland in the Croft and Coate areas underwent similar management.
During the project, the local communities - including schools and volunteer groups - were invited into the woodlands to see the work in action and to learn more about the benefits of their management.
Based in Swindon, we offer a wide range of tree services to clients across Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. Get in touch

"Your team has just left and we wanted to let you know how pleased we are with their work. Despite the extremely damp conditions, they were very professional, thorough and careful. We are delighted with the result. Please pass on our thanks to them; they did you proud."
