Another project that I worked on
in close co-operation and consultation with Geoff Nichols the well known
and respected environmental consultant and author. We acted as both consultants
to the MECCE management committee as well as contractors to implement environmental
management plans and recommendations. Our main area of involvement for MECCE
was the management of the forest area as well as the ponds and wetlands
in particular alien weed control. We also undertook many other smaller projects
for MECCE such as the transplanting of a number of large trees to placing
nesting boxes high in the trees for owls. In addition we produced a number
of landscape designs and carried out their implemented for private property
owners within the estate.
