The management team at Royal Earlswood Park in Redhill is honouring the development’s environmental heritage by undertaking a sustainability project that sees 100 new trees introduced across the estate to enhance the local environment for residents to enjoy for years to come.
The team recently partnered with grounds maintenance contractor, Ground Control, which donated 100 saplings, providing new additions to complement the existing extensive greenery around the site, continuing FirstPort’s commitment to enhancing the local environment. The site, which stands at 87 acres is a former hospital with historic buildings, surrounded by extensive green space, ponds and an array of stunning trees, which have long been a feature of a site that dates back to 1853.
The new saplings will continue to be nurtured by on-site grounds specialists, with the aim of turning them into long-term additions to the plethora of trees and plants across the site.
The management team conducts regular maintenance works to protect and enhance the environmental features of the site, providing much-loved scenery that residents have enjoyed for decades.
Opportunities to enhance the development’s sustainability features are actively included in the grounds maintenance schedule, including preserving areas known to house wildlife, installing and maintaining additions to pond areas to accommodate animals and recycling natural materials where possible – including using wood cut back from trees to create new bark for pathways.
Rhys Brown, Development Manager at Royal Earlswood Park commented: “We were delighted to plant the new trees, continuing Royal Earlswood Park’s tradition of combining striking buildings with beautiful outdoor spaces.
“Our residents are passionate about the environment in their community and have been extremely supportive of the recent planting. As a management team, we are passionate about honouring the heritage of the site, maintaining the development’s historic features, whilst providing enjoyable outdoor spaces that also support local wildlife. We are proud to continue the site’s history of natural beauty and we look forward to watching the trees grow in the coming years.”
