Urban Woodland thinning project

Recently, we worked on a small urban woodland that had been left unattended for over 25 years plus. Dense bramble, ivy, and self-seeded saplings had crowded out the space, leaving some beautiful specimens hidden beneath.

‍

Our team carefully removed the invasive growth by hand, preserving the soil and root systems. As we opened up the canopy, these once-hidden trees began to thrive—we can already see new branches extending and the area filled with light.

‍

In the weeks since, we’ve introduced native wildflower plugs , which are already attracting bees and small birds. The transformation is remarkable—where once it was an overgrown thicket, it’s now a vibrant, open sanctuary fostering biodiversity and a sense of calm for local wildlife and visitors alike.

‍

we have also removed alot of dead sycamore trees that have had sooty bark disease along with some ash trees that had ash dye back. This makes it safer for the public for the trees around them and opens the area up for the better specimens to prevail all part of our woodland management project on behalf of the authorities.
