THE need for trees has never been higher on the agenda and one Alcester business is aiming to sow the seeds of change with the seeds of its growth.
Wharton Natural Infrastructure Consultants is starting the new year in a new office, expanding the team and its premises in a move nearer Redditch to Kings Coughton.
Wharton, previously based at Minerva Mill in Alcester, is one of the UK’s top tree and ecology consultancies.
The company, founded and headed by Peter Wharton, manages natural infrastructure projects and developments, providing a full service in land, tree, ecology and landscape architecture advice.
Wharton works with everyone from architects, planning consultants, property and private estate owners, to councils, schools, hotel and leisure facilities.
At a time when the need to plant trees and protect nature has never been higher on the agenda, the team’s aim is not only to help clients meet their environmental objectives, but to encourage them to see natural landscaping as a fundamental part of their schemes.
“It’s about creating spaces that people want to be in and recognising the natural environment, when well-planned and managed, adds value,” said Peter.
“We want trees, ecology and habitats to be seen as assets and opportunities, not planning constraints.”
Wharton’s team includes ecologists, arboricultural consultants and landscape designers, providing a complete service for clients across the UK.
