Here, our task was to erect fencing to protect newly planted native-mix hedging on the edge of Salisbury Plain.
We used a single strand of electric fence with 2 x barbed wire to stop the cattle from eating the new plants!
The ultimate in upcycling: during WW2, 28000 concrete Pill Boxes were built to defend the arteries of England against a possible invasion. The Pill Boxes are all made of concrete. In this project, we converted an initial four of them for use by bats ! These were all undertaken within the Pewsey Vale alongside the Kennet & Avon Canal, as part of a Crown Estate Funded Project.
We blocked up all but one viewing point, creating a lockable door fitting, perches and bat boxes to the inside.

Here we undertook the pollarding of 30-plus old lime trees forming an avenue in Hampshire.
Work made safer and easier with the correct equipment, viz our Merlo Roto, Spider MEWP
and 26m Lorry MEWP. 12 March 2026
Alex and Toby are up at the top of Wiltshire this week, erecting 500m of Stock fence with 4 gates as part of a Natural England project on the Pewsey Downs at Alton Barnes.
Our next task here is to install a water trough and another butterfly scape, so more to follow.
