Who We Work With

What our clients say

"Brimstones have brought their can-do attitude and versatility to jobs across a number of our sites, including habitat management, wayfinding & interpretation, management planning
and guided walks."

Estates Manager at the Land Trust

“Anna and Edwin at Brimstones have been a pleasure to work with, they are efficient, diligent, and always complete work to a very high standard. The electric chainsaws and brushcutters that they use are brilliant, we see the reduced emissions and noise pollution as a big benefit and the way forward!”

I&J Bushell Ltd

“I would thoroughly recommend Brimstones. We needed extra support in running community and wildlife events on our site and they were available to visit the site, learn about our requirements and then develop a good range of events that included community nature craft events, guided nature themed walks and a woodland based training day. The events have been positively received and I am keen to continue our work together.”

Estates & Community Officer at the Land Trust

“It has been fantastic to have Brimstones supporting our traineeship programme for young people aged 18-25. They have delivered a whole host of expertly run workshops on a wide range of topics from tree ID, conservation tool safety, running guided walks and habitat management, which have really helped to us deliver an engaging and holistic training programme for our young people.”

Youth Programmes Manager at London Wildlife Trust

“Anna and Edwin delivered 7 wildlife walks in our urban parks which were well attended and were a great success. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and communicate this in a really accessible way. It was such a pleasure to see people’s faces as they learnt about the wildlife in their local parks that they often didn’t even know was there. Anna and Edwin have brought nature to life for our local residents.”
