We recently assisted a client in identifying and formulating a management plan for trees and woodland across a number of developer-retained public open spaces, following the successful development of a site in greater Manchester.

We were able to identify immediate works and provide advice for a long-term strategy that would prove beneficial for the trees, the local amenity and the client. Creation of, and long-term management of biodiverse public open spaces within a site can provide developers with a valuable opportunity to show environmental commitment.
