Reclamation

Reclamation Sites

Sludge Incorporation and Utilisation
The use of waste sludges - fibre, paper pulp, sewage, - can all greatly assist establishment, moisture retention and nutrition on hostile and infertile sites. They can buffer PH extremes, stabilise soil structures and reduce run off on mineral and shale soils. Cheviot Trees has considerable experience in this field.

Trees are an ideal crop to utilise sludges, and offer large areas and possibilities for the safe and environmentally friendly, beneficial disposal of increasingly abundant waste products.

Planting on Hostile Sites
With planting increasingly occurring on Derelict, Industrial, Reclaimed and Contaminated land, it is essential to use Planting Stock of a type that will both survive and perform. The re-establishment of growing crops and trees on Derelict waste land greatly enhances the amenity value, Landscape character and Biodiversity in these areas. Combinations of conventional Tree species along with Short Rotation forestry and grassland along with wild flower mixes are ideal for multi-use establishment on these sites.

Cell Grown Plants from Cheviot Trees include:-

The supply of quality fibrous root systems
The incorporation of and inoculation with Mycorrhiza
The use of appropriate seed source to give optimum growth, maintain and assist local, native genetic conservation
The option of Root/Soil inoculation of the growing stock to reduce planting shock

By taking advantage of these features and hence ensuring optimum plant growth site objectives can confidently be seen to be met and Best Value can be seen to be achieved.

Specialist site requirements, such as the above, need considerable planning and discussion and are usually Contract Grown.
