Arboriculture and Wildlife Services

About us

We are tree management specialists covering South West England and South Wales. We pride ourselves on our forward thinking, safe and efficient arboricultural practises. We give unbiased and objective advice on trees and their management and implement the work to the highest standard and respect to the trees, wildlife and the surroundings.

We also offer a range of other services relating to biodiversity enhancement and research. We are an ecocentric company who pay great attention to detail on the projects we are involved in.

It is of course common knowledge that trees can play a key role in mitigating the negative effects of climate change and biodiversity loss. Ford Treescapes recognises the need for a holistic approach to tree management within the environment as when dealing with trees you are never just dealing with a single organism but with a plethora of organisms which they host and hold symbiotic relationships with, above and below ground.

Both living and dead parts of the tree and their associated organisms play important roles in the wider ecology and in providing ecosystem services to us including nutrient cycling, water/air/soil quality, carbon sequestration, flood prevention and physical and mental health benefits to name a few.

Ford Treescapes strives to further our understanding of trees and their functions within the environment, educate, and carry out our work to the highest standard that we can.

We are fully insured and operatives hold all relevant qualifications including NPTC, CSCS and other arb-specific credentials. We comply with all LOLER and PUWER regulations and stay up to date with regular training so that we can happily call ourselves modern arboriculturalists.
