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.
Working Across Sensitive Urban & Riverside Environments
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.
- Tree felling and sectional dismantling in restricted locations
- Pruning works to maintain safe clearances and tree health
- Operations planned around ecological and environmental considerations
- Careful management of access within busy public areas
Responding to Ash Dieback
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:
- Unsafe ash trees are identified and removed efficiently
- Lower-risk trees are retained where appropriate
- Public safety is prioritised across parks, paths, and highways
- Works are completed in line with arboricultural best practice
Efficient Delivery Through Skilled Teams & Specialist Equipment
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.
