Sterile Greenspaces or Living Ecosystems

 
B4C’s Environmental Services Unit reaches into the niche of contractual environmental works. The need is developing for contractors who can perform ecologically sensitive rehabilitation of degraded and disturbed areas or highly significant natural areas and green corridors and buffers.

The aims of B4C's Environmental Services Unit is to perform positive rehabilitation that adds value to public amenities, landscape amenity; and enhances corridors, habitats and biodiversity. Our Environmental Services Unit aims to work off retained undisturbed areas - especially ground layers of natural vegetation - to achieve low maintenance. Retaining and recreating the identity of the sites' ecosystem will achieve sustainable outcomes for nature conservation and site maintenance.

The two overriding goals are:creating living ecosystems in balance with open recreation spaces sustainable progression to low or minimal maintenance with little need for machinery
