Our Commitment to Nature: Tree Planting for a Greener Future For Generations to Come

As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and enhancing the natural environment, we are proud to have planted 765 native tree whips, each measuring between 450mm and 600mm in height.

These trees include a mix of Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Hazel, and Birch—all carefully selected for their ecological benefits and their ability to thrive in the local environment. Each whip was staked and protected with a tree guard, helping to prevent damage from rabbits and to promote healthy, upright growth. This attention to detail ensures the young trees get the best possible start, improving survival rates and long-term vitality.

Planted at a rate of five trees per linear metre, in a staggered formation of three and two, this layout is designed to develop into a dense, natural screening hedge. Once established, the hedge will provide vital shelter and habitat for local wildlife, support biodiversity, and contribute to visual and environmental enhancement of the area.

With proper care and natural growth, we anticipate that the hedge will reach 1.5 to 2 metres in height within 2.5 to 3 years, forming an effective and attractive green barrier.

This project is just one of the ways we’re delivering on our promise to create meaningful and lasting social and environmental value in the communities where we work.
