All about Burton Woods

Incorporating an expansive protected grassland habitat and adjacent to a renowned biopark area, Burton Woods in Spennymoor, County Durham, houses an incredible wealth of flora and fauna. The vast landscaped areas perfectly complement the neighbouring housing development, offering a wealth of biodiversity on their doorsteps.

The wetlands within the biopark are home to the rare Great Crested Newt. These amphibious salamanders – as well as their eggs, nests and breeding sites – are heavily protected under conservation laws.

Our bespoke maintenance programme for this development allows for this area to be cut only with appropriate specialised tractor-pulled flail equipment to avoid endangering the animals.

Similarly, the grassland areas are subject to a grazing regime, as recommended by the ecologist, creatively maintaining the diverse sward, while keeping mechanical costs and emissions to a minimum.

All of these diverse habitat features are managed alongside more conventional green spaces, with bespoke routine maintenance programmes rounding out our commitments to this uniquely diverse development.
