Giving back is something we at Climbers Way care about deeply, and we are always looking for meaningful ways to share our resources and expertise with the communities around us. One of our favourite ways to do this is by offering leftover materials from our tree surgery jobs—whether wood chips, branches, or chunky pieces of timber—to local schools, community groups, Brownie packs, and allotment projects. Rather than going to waste, these natural by-products get a second life, inspiring creativity, learning, and connection in places where people gather, play, and grow.
These materials often become the foundation for imaginative, practical projects. Schools can use timber for outdoor classrooms, play areas, or craft projects, while allotment groups and community gardens can repurpose wood chips for mulch, pathways, or natural features. By repurposing these resources, we help local groups save money, reduce waste, and engage more deeply with the natural world. Even a small pile of timber can spark ideas, encourage teamwork, and create lasting value for communities.
A particularly inspiring example took place at an estate in West Horsley. After completing a tree surgery job, our team had a generous pile of timber ready for reuse. The estate’s grounds team embraced the opportunity and transformed it into a beautiful garden seating area—a calm, nature-inspired corner where people can pause, reflect, and recharge. What had once been leftover material became a welcoming green space where residents, visitors, and staff can enjoy a moment of calm and connection with nature. It’s a small act with a big impact, turning materials that might have been discarded into something meaningful for the community.
This initiative embodies the spirit of sharing, sustainability, and creativity that underpins everything we do at Climbers Way. By thoughtfully repurposing materials that might otherwise be wasted, we support local communities, encourage environmental responsibility, and enhance outdoor spaces. It’s a way of giving back that brings people together, inspires imagination, and shows that even small actions can make a real difference. We’re proud to see our tree surgery by-products find new life, helping build spaces where people can connect with nature, each other, and their communities.
