Safeguarding Public Biodiversity: Your Partner in Environmental Compliance

Aligning arboricultural excellence with local authority environmental targets.

At Kraken Arb, our ‘Education Over Extraction’ philosophy is an operational requirement. Local Authorities have a statutory duty to conserve biodiversity under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act, and we are the partners who help you meet it. We manage public trees and hedges with a deep understanding of the local ecosystem, ensuring that essential maintenance never comes at the cost of our natural heritage.

Year-Round Ecological Surveillance

Wildlife doesn't follow a calendar, and neither do we. Every project on public land—whether a school hedge reduction in Nottinghamshire or highway clearance in Derbyshire—is preceded by a comprehensive wildlife and bird survey. If an active nest or protected habitat is identified, the work waits. We provide the documented 'Due Diligence' reports that Local Authorities require to prove compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Managed by the Engine Room, all ecological surveys and findings are logged and available for your project files, ensuring your department remains fully compliant with environmental audit requirements.

We provide the jargon-free, documented reports you need to mitigate risk, satisfy insurers, and ensure public safety.

Whether it's a school playground or a public footpath, we guarantee a 100% Zero-Trace finish. We leave every public space clean, safe, and ready for immediate use.
