Leading Arboricultural and Ecological Consultants

Woollas Hall Farm, Bredon Hill, Gloucestershire, comprises a diversity of landscapes and habitats, including many veteran ash trees. The veteran trees are of historic importance and are critically linked to the conservation of the violet click beetle (Limoniscus violaceus).

In the UK this species has been recorded in only three locations: Windsor Forest in Berkshire, Dixton Wood in Gloucestershire and Bredon Hill. The violet click beetle is listed as endangered in the UK Red Data Book and the presence of this species has resulted in Bredon Hill being designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The violet click beetle was first recorded at Bredon Hill in 1939.

Neville Fay, Principal Consultant at Treework Environmental Practice recently gave a lecture at the Tree Ecosystems and Man conference in Vilnius; Neville’s gave two presentations on The Principles and Practice of Conservation Arboriculture. The conference was hosted by the Lithuanian Ministry of the Environment, European Arboricultural Council (EAC) and Lithuanian Arboricultural Centre.

The EAC is an emerging arboricultural community developing coherent guidance and publications on theory and good practice with a strong training policy.  Its membership has a passion for trees and professional progression.

Neville Fay said, “This is my second visit to Lithuania. The first was when I was asked by Czech conservation arborist, Martin Nemec, to provide guidance for the management of an iconic, nationally treasured ancient tree, the Stelmuze Oak.

I was pleased when I heard my report is being acted upon. On this most recent visit, I had an enriching experience, meeting kindred passionate eastern European arborists from Lithuania, Latvia and Poland. I was also grateful to my host, Gintaras Venckus, for showing me round the parks and urban landscape of Vilnius. Arborists in Lithuania are clearly committed to working in the most modern way, learning to manage their mature and veteran trees to enhance their structure, longevity, habitat quality and biodiversity.”

This September Neville Fay was honoured with the prestigious Arboriculture Association’s 2009 Annual Award for Continued Services to Arboriculture.

The award was given in recognition of Neville’s efforts to raise the level of knowledge in arboriculture, specifically through the Treework Environmental Practice seminar and conference series. Through a philosophy of holistic arboriculture he has endeavoured to bring this perspective to tree safety and veteran tree management, recently focusing on the climate change debate to bring practical solutions through raising the national importance of trees and climate control.

In his acceptance speech at the conference dinner, Neville said that he shared the award with many friends and colleagues in arboriculture, who have inspired and supported him in his continued endeavours towards broadening practice to encompass holistic approaches to the soil, climate change, realistic attitudes towards tree risk management and long-term veteran tree care.

Neville said, “This award is as much an honour for me personally as it is for all my dedicated and inspiring friends and colleagues at Treework Environmental Practice and in the Ancient Tree Forum”.

Treework Environmental Practice is proud to announce that it has become an Associate Member of The Tree Council, the UK umbrella body for organisations concerned with tree care, planting and conservation. Amongst its many activities the Tree Council educates and engages people through National Tree Week and through heritage conservation initiatives such as Green Monument campaign for tree protection and the Hedge Tree campaigns.

Becoming an associate member of the Tree Council is a natural progression from our existing work with the National Tree Safety Group, Middlesex University (Decision and Risk Management Department), the Forestry Commission (on climate change adaptation) and the Trees and Design Action Group (conservation, design and planning for large canopy trees in cities).

The Tree Council recognises the fundamental role of trees in their contribution to the unique quality of the British landscape, to our towns and cities, being essential to our biodiversity heritage and to human well-being and survival

Through its association with Tree Council, Treework Environmental Practice wishes to contribute to good management practice, conservation and the celebration of trees. We hope that as an associate Member we will support the Tree Council in improving the awareness of the benefits of trees and to influence government policy and good professional practice.

As a company we pride ourselves on our innovation and we have invested in improving the awareness and understanding of the contribution that trees make to our environment, from the habitat that old trees provide to the ways in which large trees help to “climate proof” our urban environment.

Treework Environmental Practice hopes to support the Tree Council, whose strength lies in its influence and breadth of involvement, with a unique ability to promote co-operation between professionals and mobilise the tree sector to engage at a political level to affect policy.
