Another 800m stock netting fencing completed today
We completed a further 800m of stock netting fencing, along with gates, just outside Devizes along the famous Wansdyke in Wiltshire to protect it from damage by cattle.
Well done Toby, Ian, George and Brian
“This 5th or 6th Century defensive ditch and bank runs from Morgan’s Hill near Bishops Canning to Savernake Forest near Marlborough.
Named Woden’s Dyke after the Saxon god, Woden, the Wansdyke was constructed at a time when history was not often written down and there is little archaeological evidence to add clues. It was most likely made by the Britons as a defensive earthwork to keep out the Saxons invading from the North. Up on the Marlborough Downs some of the impressive two-metre high banks remain in place to this day.”
For more information on The Wansdyke Path, check out the link from the North Wessex Downs here.

Closing the gate on another few thousand metres of stock fence near Devizes
Here we’re closing the gate on 1,700 metres of stock fence near Coate, with gates and kissing gates for access and creosote-treated timber for durability.
Not much fun in the sun with those posts!
All undertaken using our Protech Evo 3.
Great job by Toby and Ian

Biodiversity Net Gain – installing rabbit fencing
Installing rabbit fencing to protect a young hedge near Ramsbury
This bank does not look steep in the pictures, but Alex and Tristan will tell you otherwise!
We used our Protech Evo3* for this project, given the steep ground. Our Evo Compact would not have been sufficiently stable and could have tipped over.
The rabbit netting is erected with a turnout at ground level and then pegged to the ground to stop the rabbits from burrowing underneath. In all, it was approx. 600m on very hard ground.
* The Evo 3 is the largest in the Protech range, with a machine weight of 6.5 tons and needs to be delivered on a low loader. But even though a larger machine, it gives a lighter footprint than the Compact, with a ground pressure of 2.27PSI. It has a 500kg hammer weight. Each track itself is 500mm wide, and the tracks can be fully extended to 3.3m, giving greater stability on steep ground”.

Fencing to protect several thousand metres of new hedge planting in Wiltshire
This is a continuation of the tree planting program we featured earlier in the year, with all the tree tubes set out by GPS.
Now, we have just completed fencing to protect several thousand metres of new hedge planting as part of a species recovery project.
We used traditional native hedging planted to create new hedges and infill older hedges where gaps were present

Mulching, fencing and then protection for ground nesting birds
Not the most exciting pictures…
