Green-tech Supports Regenerative Forestry Ltd: Oakcutts Wood, located in the heart of Hampshire, is undergoing an ecological transformation. Intervention was required to restore its natural balance. Non-native species of Spruce and Larch were removed to make way for native tree planting, which aims to enhance biodiversity and create a resilient ecosystem for future generations.
Regenerative Forestry Ltd specialises in woodland management and provides professional consultancy across Southern England. Their expertise in ecological restoration made them the ideal partner for managing this woodland sensitively to ensure its resilience.

The Project
The goal of the restoration project was to restock Oakcutts Wood with native tree species, promoting biodiversity and ensuring the long-term health of the woodland. Protecting these young saplings during their establishment phase was paramount, as local wildlife, including roe and muntjac deer, posed a significant challenge.
Regenerative Forestry Ltd turned to Green-tech for the products and support to ensure the project’s success. Green-tech is a leading tree planting and protection solutions supplier and a trusted partner for forestry professionals across the UK. It provides innovative products that support long-term environmental health.
Products Used
To address the project’s specific challenges, Green-tech supplied the following essential products, chosen for their durability, effectiveness, and alignment with the project’s ecological goals.
- 7500 Tubex Standard Plus Tree Shelters (1.2m): These tree shelters are specifically designed to protect young saplings from browsing animals like roe and muntjac deer. In addition to providing physical protection, they create a microclimate that promotes healthy growth.
- 7500 1.35m Softwood Stakes: Treated softwood stakes were used to securely support the tree shelters, ensuring they remained stable in varying weather conditions.
The Outcome
The Oakcutts Wood restoration project demonstrates the power of collaboration in achieving environmental sustainability. With Green-tech’s high-quality products and Regenerative Forestry expertise, the young trees are well-protected, setting the stage for a thriving and biodiverse woodland.
