We recently completed mulching of a large ash clearfell site and areas of ash stumps within retained woodland using the Prinoth Raptor 500. The woodland owner felled all the ash due to Chalara (ash dieback), removing the timber and leaving stumps and tops for us to mulch . The mulched areas are now easily accessible for planting and future maintenance. See the before and after below!

We completed another successful project at a private landowner, clearing land covered by self-set tree, scrub and bramble to allow access to the property boundary. This was done using our Fendt824 240HP tractor and AHWI M650 mulcher. See the results below!

We recently completed a clearance project on a private estate, focusing on laurel and rhododendron control. Our 6 tonne, 140 hp remote controlled mulcher was perfect for the job, powerful enough to cope with the dense vegetation, but has the agility and low ground pressure to minimise impact on the woodland soils and retained vegetation. This mulcher can easily clear vegetation on steep slopes, undulating ground and awkward terrain ensuring the operator is safe at all times.

Our Practicality Brown - Habitats team has hit the ground running with some exciting new projects. Find out more on our website: https://lnkd.in/eU57jg9Q
In recognition of World Rivers Day, we’re highlighting the crucial role rivers play in sustaining ecosystems, communities, and economies. Rivers provide clean water, support biodiversity, and are vital to the health of our planet. At Practicality Brown - Habitats, we are committed to enhancing and protecting natural environments, including our rivers and waterways. This week, Joel has been working on two separate jobs near Bath for Bristol Avon Rivers Trust, installing eel tiles on two weirs. These tiles assist eels and their young (elvers) in navigating manmade barriers during their migration, helping to restore declining eel populations. Eels are essential to a healthy river ecosystems by feeding on decaying matter and in turn providing a food source for a range of other species such as otters, Bitterns and Herons and protecting them is crucial for maintaining river health. Further to this we have been down in Cookham for the South East Rivers Trust providing machines and operators . The work along the Thames included the removal of large trees and the re-use of the material to create berms along the river’s edge. Berms control water flow, reduce erosion, and direct or slow water, which helps prevent flooding, enhances riverbank stability and contributes to healthier, more resilient river ecosystems. Practicality Brown Ltd also aided with the excavation works onsite and the creation of a wetland ecosystem as well as the installation of a number of woody debris features within the newly created channel If you have a habitats project to discuss, contact us at habitats@pracbrown.co.uk or visit our website: https://lnkd.in/eU57jg9Q #worldriversday #riverconservation #sustainability #protectrivers #climateaction #habitats #sustainabilty
