Responding to Ash Dieback
Dryad Tree Specialists has been engaged by Cambridge City Council to deliver practical tree surgery works under a framework agreement across the city. The programme covers a broad range of arboricultural services, including tree felling, pruning, and ash clearance works, with multiple work packages already successfully completed.
Many of the projects have taken place within riverside environments, where restricted access and ecological sensitivities require a careful and considered approach. These sites demand detailed planning, skilled teams, and the right equipment to complete works safely while minimising disruption to surrounding habitats and public spaces.
Dryad has also carried out targeted ash clearance works in response to the ongoing impact of Ash Dieback. These works help Cambridge City Council manage tree-related risks in high-use public areas while protecting the wider urban landscape wherever possible.
Our risk-led approach ensures that:
Through a combination of experienced arborists, specialist machinery, and practical planning, Dryad continues to provide efficient and reliable tree management services across Cambridge. Our teams understand the challenges of working in sensitive urban and riparian settings and adapt methods accordingly to achieve safe, high-quality outcomes.
| Service Delivered | Project Benefit | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Tree pruning | Maintains tree health and safe clearances | Safer public spaces and healthier tree stock |
| Tree felling | Removes hazardous or unsuitable trees | Reduced public risk and improved site safety |
| Ash clearance works | Manages impacts of Ash Dieback | Long-term risk reduction across the city |
This ongoing framework demonstrates Dryad Tree Specialists’ ability to combine practical arboriculture, environmental awareness, and reliable delivery across complex public sector environments. By working closely with Cambridge City Council, we help maintain safe, attractive, and sustainable green spaces for residents and visitors throughout the city.
