brasher walks the walk
The 16-strong team at Sunderland based outdoor footwear manufacturer, brasher, set out to make a difference to the environment at Durham Wildlife Trust recently.
As part of the company’s environmental policy, the brasher team worked to thin as many trees at the Trust’s Rainton Meadows site, helping to conserve the local environment and improve its appearance.
In just one day, the brasher team managed to fell and thin more than 42 trees, playing a significant part in protecting and enhancing the woodland, as well as helping to protect a variety of animal, plant and tree species.
Andy Loeber, Managing Director, at brasher commented: “At brasher, and at our parent company Pentland, we recognise the importance of giving something back to the environment and it is something that is actively encouraged on a regular basis.”
The Trust's reserves are managed to enhance biodiversity and they comprise a range of habitats including internationally important limestone grasslands, species rich upland hay meadows, semi-natural woodland, open water, reed swamp and fen meadow.
