CCNW Solution

CCNW’s professional conservation team has extensive experience with all aspects of habitat management.

Our work involved felling & clearing large areas of young to mature trees (upto 8 years old.) with the purpose of improving the habitats available as part of a larger project to re-wet the mossland.

The stumps were treated with herbicide to prevent re-growth whilst the arisings & surrounding brash was collected & chipped.

Access was a significant problem as the area of work was far from the roads & paths. This meant that we had to carefully plan the project to get machinery on the site.

The neighbour was a farmer and we engaged with them at an early stage as we required across his land. Our Operations Manager built an excellent working relationship. The result was that the landowner offered us his services in terms of being able to use his chipper to help dispose of brashwood.
