Company mission statement

One definition of arboriculture is "the care and cultivation of trees for ornament". Trees contribute so much, quietly, to an increasingly noisy and impatient world - not just ornamentation. Our towns, cities and villages need the green component as never before.

Our company motto is "appropriate conservation". All of us can acknowledge, whatever our beliefs about origins of the natural world, and whatever our business is with it, our common need for trees and their complexity and beauty. It is however not always appropriate to retain trees close to people and their activities, but decisions to prune, remove, or alter conditions near trees require careful consideration and often the assistance of the appropriate professionals.
