New Six Year Contract With English Heritage
3 July 2023

English Heritage cares for over 400 historic buildings, monuments and sites, bringing the story of England to life for over 10 million people each year. Alongside their medieval castles and Roman forts stand an estimated 38,000 specimen trees and 160 hectares of woodland. The distribution of these trees is diverse, ranging from individuals and small groups to designed historic landscapes containing thousands of trees. Some of these have heritage significance in their own right as a result of great age, botanical significance or due to connections with historic people or events.

Building on our relationship with the Trust dating back to 2018 when TEP was engaged to undertake a review of their tree management practices and systems, we are delighted to commence a new 6 year contract to inspect trees across their northern estate. The portfolio covers 73 sites including the enchanting Belsay Hall and Gardens with its medieval castle, and thirty acres of outstanding gardens; the splendid 13th century Pickering Castle set in the heart of the North York Moors National Park; and the remains of the forts, towers, turrets and towns that once kept watch over the Hadrian’s Wall.

The work will be delivered using Alloy, Causeway Technologies connected asset management software, which was adopted by the Trust in 2022 to replace their outdated method of managing tree risk. The software can be hosted on either a tablet computer or mobile phone and is highly configurable, providing a high level of flexibility. Any arboricultural work required after the survey can also be managed, tracked and recorded through Alloy as an end-to-end, fully digital process.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Future Gardeners, Routes into Horticulture and the Natural Environment, an award-winning programme dedicated to helping people access careers in horticulture and the wider green sector. To celebrate this milestone, TEP's Tom Young joined partners, supporters and alumni at the 10 year anniversary event in London to recognise and celebrate the invaluable work it has delivered over the past decade. Established by Bankside Open Spaces Trust and the Worshipful Company of Gardeners in 2016, the programme was designed to open doors into horticulture and the natural environment through practical training, hands-on work experience and valuable industry connections. Over the last 10 years, it has empowered countless participants to gain the skills, confidence and qualifications needed to launch their careers. Today, with more than 80% progressing into further training, apprenticeships or employment, the programme is helping to shape the next generation of horticultural and environmental professionals. Future Gardeners combines hands-on learning with work placements across parks, gardens and green spaces throughout London, giving participants valuable real-world experience alongside accredited training, including City & Guilds qualifications. By covering costs such as travel and equipment, the programme helps remove barriers that can prevent people from accessing opportunities within the sector.
