A movie title? Not quite, but we've enjoyed recording the building of our 6th warehouse here at the BHT HQ in rural Lincolnshire, which has been completed just in time for the start of the 2019/2020 bare root season.
'Afforestation' is our new favourite word. Meaning the process of planting trees, or sowing seeds in a barren land devoid of any trees to create a forest, it will contribute to delivering the UK target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Find out why we love the term.
With the 2019-2020 bare root planting season drawing closer, work has recently started to add a sixth warehouse to the British Hardwood Tree Nursery (BHT) premises in Snitterby, near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.
British Hardwood Tree Nursery sponsored and attended the third Lincolnshire Rural Charities Dinner, which took place at the Lincolnshire Showground on Thursday 11th April 2019.
Part of a ground-breaking project to reduce flood risk, improve water quality and encourage new woodland creation, the Woodlands for Water project is helping land managers and farmers to tackle the specialist skills needed for woodland planting.
BHT can only operate to its continually high standards with the hard work and professionalism of its close-knit and enthusiastic team. Two of our BHT team have reached their 10 year service milestones this season - so we're saying THANK YOU to Richard Furness and Keiron Proctor.
Did you receive grant funding for woodland creation and planted last Winter? Have you subsequently faced significant losses in these newly planted trees and hedging due to the unusually warm Summer this year? Then help is at hand - you may be eligible for a new grant to replace and plant afresh. EPREC is a new grant for replacement plants - are you eligible?
Promoting the company and its trees, hedging and plant protection options to 22,000 visitors alongside 320 exhibitors - BHT enjoyed their second time as exhibitors at APF 2018. The largest event for forestry and arboriculture in the UK, the APF Exhibition took place on 20-22 September 2018 at Ragley Estate in Alcester, Warwickshire.
National charity the Woodland Trust™s UK Sourced and Grown (UKSG) Assurance initiative is aimed at protecting the provenance of native trees. BHT can now add UKSG Assurance to other industry certifications, reinforcing the confidence and provenance the company has already provided to its network of UK customers for over a quarter of a century.
Trees thrive in quality treeshelters; the microclimate within the tube helps to promote accelerated growth, whilst protecting young trees from predators, herbicides and inhospitable environmental conditions. That's why we, as the UK's leading specialist supplier of bare root trees, shrubs, hedgerow plants and planting accessories, recommend and supply TUBEX treeshelters with our trees to the forestry sector.
