The importance of our natural environment is clear, whether it’s a small pocket of land or a swathe of beautiful countryside. Every square metre that we enhance helps the overriding goal of protecting our future.

This vision is central to Betts Estates.

With our expert ecology division to hand, we sustainably manage areas of green space for developers and landowners.

From concept and design to ongoing maintenance, we’ll create a plan to enhance your site's biodiversity, complete the work and continually manage your green space.

It benefits everyone: the local authority, your business, residents, and the planet.

Residents living within the green space we manage enjoy nature on their doorstep. From meadows to woodland, hedgerows to waterways, we design and manage these areas, always with environmental protection in mind.

Grass is kept longer to encourage insects and birdlife. Wooded areas, hedgerows, ponds and wetland will be nurtured to welcome inhabitants such as mammals and water life.

Promoting biodiversity is better for everyone.

Residual land adoption

We’re committed to our vision. To that end, we’ve adopted many pieces of residual land and features of no commercial value to developers: assorted grassland, pools, waterways, archaeological sites, ancient woodland, bat lofts, disused railway tracks, local nature reserves and Sites of Biological Interest, even a heritage railway viaduct!

Over time, we develop these corridors of nature for the local community to enjoy. Planting, restoring and landscaping to encourage wildlife, fauna and flora.

We’re very proud of our urban reserves.

We'll even take care of play areas and sustainable drainage basins too.
