The significance of arboriculture, the cultivation and management of trees, has never been more pronounced. We believe that the role of trees in supporting biodiversity cannot be overstated.

Urban green spaces created through arboriculture provide habitats for diverse flora and fauna. Trees contribute to the complex web of life, supporting a variety of species from insects to birds. Preserving and promoting biodiversity is not only crucial for the health of ecosystems but also for the environment.

Beyond this, trees act as natural air filters, trapping pollutants and particulate matter, thus improving air quality. Additionally, their root systems help prevent soil erosion and filter rainwater, promoting cleaner water sources and preventing floods. Arboriculture plays a vital role in enhancing the overall quality of the air we breathe, the water we consume and supporting biodiversity as a whole.

Tree Maintenance and Surgery

Getting down to the business of arboriculture, as part of good arboriculture practices, there is a cycle of tree felling, planting, and replacement by skilled tree surgeons. Tree surveying is important to catch problems before they become a health and safety risk, such as trees that have disease or are dead. Sometimes trees need to be felled to prevent disease, keep the landscape in good health and prevent safety risks. Nurture Group’s skilled arborists are adept at executing complex tree removals with a focus on safety and cost-effectiveness. Prior to any tree felling operation, we conduct thorough site visits to assess the tree's location, identify potential obstacles, and determine if it falls within a conservation area or is covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Adhering to stringent health and safety regulations, our NPTC qualified arborists are also certified in emergency first aid.

Our tree removal methods include straight felling, an efficient and economical approach when sufficient space is available, and section dismantling for situations where obstacles or space constraints make straight felling impractical. Our arborists use advanced rigging gear to lower tree sections in a controlled manner, minimising the risk of damage to nearby structures. In cases where climbing is deemed unsafe due to tree decay or dysfunction, we utilise a mobile elevated platform for a secure and efficient removal process. Nurture Group also provides emergency service for situations where immediate attention is needed due to fallen trees or branches that pose a risk of damage.

Replanting Woodland

As part of Nurture Group’s biodiversity solutions, we believe in the importance of tree replanting and woodland conservation as part of the circular economy. As the population grows and urbanisation expands, forests and woodlands are under increasing threat. Tree replanting initiatives are essential to replenish and restore these vital ecosystems. Our arboriculture team works to enhance and protect existing woodland and trees, regenerate deteriorating areas and replant trees removed from other areas. By recognising the intrinsic value of trees and committing to their conservation and replanting, we pave the way for sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, ensuring that the benefits of these vital ecosystems endure for generations to come.
