Managing the biodiversity of our campus – works on site
The Estates team are required undertake regular tree surveys across campus to check the individual health of trees and the impact of each tree on the biodiversity around them; these tree surveys may, at times, may require us to prune or fell trees if they are deemed to be high risk, diseased or unsafe. We wanted to ensure you knew that, within our current tree management arrangements, our policy is that for every one tree felled we will replace with either 5m hedgerow or two new trees on campus.
