Chris Smith explains what his team do to reduce these risks on customers grounds: https://lnkd.in/dGpQgmEJ #storms #emergencytreecare #StormEowyn

John O’Conner is delighted to have supported a variety of Christmas tree recycling programmes this year, which have raised vital funds for local charities. These community-driven initiatives not only have a significant environmental impact, responsibly recycling Christmas trees, but also provided essential financial support to organisations making a difference in the lives of local people. The team have been taking part in these schemes for several years and were very happy to assist in several parts of the country again in 2024. This year’s campaigns saw great success, with an impressive £28,000 raised for Isabel Hospice. The team also supported Keech Hospice Care and CHIPS Children's Integrated Playschemes.
