Ground Control's Wildfell project in Essex combines large-scale woodland creation and innovative habitat banking to drive nature recovery at scale. Discover their journey from grounds maintenance to pioneering ecosystem restoration.
In a bold move that marks a significant shift in the grounds maintenance industry, Ground Control, a leading UK-based landscaping company, has embarked on an ambitious journey to transform 116 hectares of land in Essex into a thriving woodland habitat. The Wildfell project, as it's known, represents a pioneering effort in the realm of large-scale nature recovery, combining woodland creation with innovative funding models to drive the restoration of crucial ecosystems.
The origins of this project can be traced back to Ground Control's roots in grounds maintenance, where the company honed its expertise in managing and enhancing outdoor spaces. However, as the need for a more holistic approach to environmental stewardship became increasingly apparent, the company recognized an opportunity to expand its role and make a tangible difference in the realm of nature conservation.
