Trees form part of our natural surroundings; as a result they can often be a habitat for wildlife. There are certain types of animals that are protected by law, meaning that if their natural habitat happens to be in an area where tree surgery work may disrupt it – there could be difficulties obtaining the appropriate permissions.
The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 provides legal protection for various animals, predominantly nesting birds. If you feel you may have some wildlife in an area you wish trees to be worked on, it is advisable to contact us for a free consultation before undertaking any work.
