Herefordshire Wildlife Trust are delighted to welcome Arbor Architects as corporate members. As well as supporting the Trusts vital work restoring and creating wildlife habitats, Arbor Architects are keen to work in partnership in the long term to support them to deliver their bold strategy.  Placing a focus on bio-based materials and creating spaces that are holistically low energy, Arbor Architects pride themselves on creating innovative spaces with a fundamental understanding of people, place and their environment. Herefordshire Wildlife Trust are excited to be working with Arbor as they work together to protect, restore and enhance Herefordshire’s biodiverse landscapes.

Arbor Architects Director Elly Deacon Smith said: As a sustainable architecture practice, Arbor Architects are excited to form a corporate partnership with the Wildlife Trust, a charity whose vision for More Nature Everywhere aligns with our approach for creating regenerative and biodiverse communities. By aligning with the Wildlife Trust, we are committing to continuing our sustainable design approach that prioritises the preservation of natural habitats and biodiversity, ensuring our projects harmoniously coexist with the natural world. This partnership allows us to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for both our built environment and the wildlife it interacts with.

Herefordshire Wildlife Trust CEO Jamie Audsley says: “We’re very excited to be working with Arbor Architects. They share our passion for wildlife and for the protection and restoration of Herefordshire’s stunning biodiversity so its wonderful to have their support – and to work with them to do more great things for nature.

Herefordshire Wildlife Trust’s mission is to put nature into recovery: reversing the declines in the abundance and diversity of native habitats and wildlife. Everyone should have the chance to hear the call of the curlew across Herefordshire’s meadows, walk through boughs of blossom in our traditional orchards and watch wildlife from the leafy banks of cool, clear rivers.

The Trust, however, can’t do this alone. We need to collaborate with landowners, communities, schools and businesses to create a wilder, greener and more sustainable Herefordshire. There are a multitude of ways we can make a difference together from small projects such as installing wildlife ponds to recovering nature on a larger-scale – collaborating on wetland creation or meadow restoration for example.

We are keen to work with urban and rural businesses to support nature-friendly practices from landscaping and planting around offices and inspiring staff and customers to looking out how production methods or supply chains can be altered to be better for nature.”
