Tree Risk Management for Bodelwyddan Castle — Warner Hotels, North Wales

Client: Warner Hotels — Bodelwyddan Castle, Denbighshire

Project Overview: Warner Hotels required a comprehensive tree risk management programme for the 200-acre Victorian parkland estate at Bodelwyddan Castle in North Wales — balancing public safety obligations with the landscape conservation requirements of a nationally significant historic designed landscape.

Our Role: Urban Tree Management carried out a complete tree inventory and risk assessment across the full 200-acre estate using Tree Plotter digital tree management software and GPS Trimble hardware — assessing every individual tree and woodland block and producing a full health and safety report and tree risk management plan.

Findings & Recommendations:

• Complete tree inventory produced covering full 200-acre estate
• All trees GPS-mapped and condition and risk rated
• Extensive works schedule produced with priorities and reinspection frequencies
• Tree risk management plan produced for estate management team

Outcome: Warner Hotels received a complete, defensible tree risk management dataset for one of the most arboriculturally significant hotel estates in Wales — providing clear evidence of duty of care management and a practical prioritised works schedule for the grounds team.
