Blackthorn hedges looking stunning this time of the year. Alive with the buzz of insects getting an early nectar fix.

It's that time of year, toads are on the move. Please drive carefully... facebook.com/22808254729948…

Ground nesting birds season. Please keep dogs on leads when out on the heaths. 😀 facebook.com/22808254729948…

Hedge planting with the boy! It makes a nice change to plant trees rather than cut them down.

Beautiful misty morning leading to a lovely sunny early spring day. Skylarks singing, Red Kites display flying and lots of other birds getting ready for the breeding season. Love this time of the year.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. A lovely heart stump for you all.😘

It was dry around the fire before lunch. Lots of snow melt causing problems after lunch. #floatingfires facebook.com/22808254729948…

Cold and frosty few days at work. Very picturesque, but horrible to work in❄❄

Removing a few trees in a crowded woodland to help others to flourish in the future. facebook.com/22808254729948…

A few before, after and during photo's from the last week or so. Clearing Holly helping to increase light to promote ground flora.

Red Kite on the cocktails! Merry Christmas everybody! We are having a well deserved break until the new year. A big thank you to all our customers, clients, workers, friends and supporters, have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Cold and frosty on the heath. A beautiful day for scrub clearance.

Scrub clearance to conserve tumuli and open up heathland habitat.

A few from last week at work. An absolute pleasure to work alongside some fabulous beasts.

Chalk grassland restoration. Finally some sunshine after 2 days of rain on a slippery, steep slope.

Opening up the views. Heathland scrub clearance in the Autumn sun.

Funky looking Birch found on site. Never seen one quite like it before.

From a dense thicket of Scots Pine to open heathland. A satisfying start to restoring a large heathland block. facebook.com/22808254729948…

A couple of horny Hornets. I think that is what they are doing anyway..... facebook.com/22808254729948…
