The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex chose Dryad as their trusted partner for tree consultancy and surveying, awarding them a sole three-year tender. This extended contract was more than a routine agreement—it provided the stability, consistency, and long-term value needed to care for a diverse estate, from operational headquarters and training facilities to residential properties. For Dryad, it was an opportunity to make a meaningful, lasting impact on the environments where staff, residents, and visitors live and work.
With the security of a multi-year partnership, Dryad took a proactive and holistic approach to tree management. Regular surveys and detailed reports allowed the team to identify risks early, maintain compliance with safety standards, and monitor the long-term health of trees across the estate. Each inspection was more than a checklist; it was an opportunity to understand the trees’ needs, anticipate potential issues, and plan for their future growth. Beyond assessments, Dryad provided expert guidance, helping Surrey and Sussex Police make informed decisions that balanced safety, aesthetics, and environmental care.
Over time, this collaboration developed into a true partnership. Dryad’s consistent service, technical expertise, and forward-looking advice gave Surrey and Sussex Police confidence that their trees were being cared for responsibly. Proactive planning reduced risks, prevented costly emergency works, and ensured that all outdoor spaces remained safe, functional, and visually appealing.
The three-year tender has proven to be more than a contract—it represents an investment in people, safety, and sustainability. Through their work, Dryad has helped create outdoor spaces where staff, visitors, and residents can feel secure and welcomed. Trees across the estate are thriving, contributing to a greener, more pleasant environment that supports wellbeing and reflects the care taken in managing them.
By combining knowledge, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to environmental stewardship, Dryad has shown how professional tree management can enhance both safety and quality of life. The partnership with Surrey and Sussex Police stands as a clear example of how thoughtful, proactive consultancy can create a lasting, positive impact—protecting people, preserving natural assets, and nurturing a safer, more sustainable landscape for the future.
