Tree Planting

Tree Planting

Well practiced in the art of tree planting, Wildscapes CIC can plan and deliver your woodland creation scheme, including the selection of suitable native species mixes, planting and aftercare. 

Other services include the management of established woodland through glade and ride creation, coppicing and thinning.

Case Study

Since 2020 Wildscapes CIC has been contracted on an annual basis by the National Trust to support with the regeneration of native woodland in the cloughs and valley sides of the High Peak Moors.

The project aims to improve the structure/quality of biodiversity, habitats and the landscape, stabilise soil, help manage bracken, give shelter to wildlife, store carbon, improve water quality and mitigate against flooding events.

Each year, as part of this project, we plant in the region of 40,000 trees as well as carrying out aftercare work at various stages.  A mix of native species are used, including Alder, Bird Cherry, Downy Birch, Hawthorn, Holly, Rowan, Sessile Oak, and Silver Birch, planted at higher density in bracken and rank grassland, and lower density in heather and bilberry, avoiding wet flushes, rocky crags and archaeological sites.
