Dryad Tree Specialists is proud to have been chosen by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council to survey highways and open spaces across the borough. This project is about far more than collecting data—it’s about helping the council create safer streets, healthier trees, and greener, more welcoming spaces for the local community. For Dryad, it represents an opportunity to bring expertise, care, and forward-thinking solutions to the management of the borough’s extensive tree stock, benefiting residents, visitors, and the environment alike.
The project involves delivering a comprehensive risk management plan for all trees across the borough. Using the TreePlotter system, Dryad’s team of surveyors will be deployed throughout Neath Port Talbot to map and record detailed information about every tree. Each assessment is captured digitally, ensuring accurate, fast, and actionable reporting that integrates seamlessly with the council’s systems. This enables the council to plan and prioritise any necessary remedial works efficiently, reducing risk and protecting people while supporting the long-term health of the trees.
But this project is about more than data—it’s about the impact on the communities who use these spaces every day. Trees provide shade, beauty, and places for relaxation, play, and connection with nature. By carefully assessing and managing the borough’s tree stock, Dryad helps ensure that residents, visitors, and council staff can enjoy streets and parks that are safe, attractive, and sustainable. Each survey and management plan contributes to creating spaces where people can pause, reflect, and enjoy the outdoors, knowing the trees around them are well cared for.
This achievement highlights Dryad’s commitment not just to technical excellence, but to the wider wellbeing of the community and environment. Our team combines practical arboricultural expertise with careful planning and a proactive approach, ensuring that the borough’s trees are maintained responsibly and thrive for years to come.
Through this partnership, Dryad is helping Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council create a lasting positive impact: safer streets, greener open spaces, and a community that can enjoy the natural beauty of its surroundings. Thoughtful, proactive tree management benefits both people and the environment, and this project is a clear example of how expertise, care, and collaboration can make a real difference to everyday life.
