Environmental Care
We manage our business to minimise our impact on the environment both where we work and in the wider context.
We operate under an ISO 14000 accreditation which requires us to be proactive in how we manage our impacts on the environment – for example we replace our vehicles regularly to ensure we obtain improving fuel efficiency. External auditors check that we follow best practice and adhere to the ever evolving regulatory requirements that seek to protect our environment.
Tree Arisings
We take great care to avoid tree arisings being consigned to landfill where they would contribute to the greenhouse gas problem. Any timber which has a potential value is sold or used in community projects, for example providing benches for school playgrounds. We have a variety of markets from the occasional piece of timber suitable for joinery, play materials for animals at local zoos, to the more common uses such as firewood and fencing materials.
What cannot be sold as timber (generally the small dimension material) is chipped. These chips are then used for compost or supplied to horticultural, equestrian and wood energy markets.
Biodegradable Oils
We use biodegradable oil in our chainsaws to lubricate the chainsaws. This oil is manufactured from plants and breaks down naturally without harm to the environment.
Residents in Trees
Our staff assess all trees before operations commence to identify bat roosts, bird nesting sites and even honey bee hives.
