The Customer manages over 70,000 trees situated within highway verges, public open spaces, churchyards, cemeteries, public gardens, parks, and council properties. The vast majority of the work will be adjacent to the public highway and will cover a wide variety of tasks including pruning, felling, stump-grinding, and planting. Quality of work is vital and so the Customer's Forestry Officer will be present for some of these operations. The Sites covered by this Contract include highway verges, public open spaces, churchyards, cemeteries, public gardens, parks, and council properties. The Contract also covers land designated to parish and town councils where mutual agreement has been made between the Customer and a town or parish council.
