Peatland Restoration

Owen Environmental is one of the leading peatland restoration contractors operating across Wales and Scotland, delivering large-scale programmes for conservation bodies, national parks and government-funded restoration frameworks. Our work encompasses hag reprofiling, drain blocking, zippering, contour bunding and surface stabilisation — undertaken using specialist low ground pressure excavators operated by experienced, certified teams. We have delivered restoration programmes exceeding 1,000 hectares in a single season, consistently within programme, budget and environmental compliance requirements.

Owen Environmental delivers rural utilities infrastructure with minimal impact on the surrounding landscape and land use. Our work includes cable trenching through ecologically sensitive ground and the installation of electrical poles across agricultural and rural settings. We apply the same low-impact methodology and certified environmental controls to utilities work as we do across all our operations — managing access, protecting ground conditions and coordinating closely with landowners and agricultural tenants throughout.

Specialist Cabling and Rural Utilities

Forestry

We deliver commercial forestry operations across rural and upland landscapes, providing whole-tree felling, full timber extraction and ground preparation for future planting. Our teams and plant are experienced in working efficiently across large forest blocks while maintaining strict environmental controls and site discipline. From initial clearance through to a prepared, planting-ready seedbed, we manage the full process with the rigour and care that sensitive rural environments demand.

Effective land management depends on the right infrastructure in the right place. Owen Environmental delivers a comprehensive range of infrastructure works - including natural flood management schemes, structural bridges, boardwalks, and fencing - across some of Wales' most challenging terrain. Our teams are experienced in remote upland, designated, and live agricultural settings, combining technical competence with a practical understanding of how land is used and managed.

Land Management Infrastructure

Environmental & Habitat Works

We deliver specialist environmental and habitat works for conservation organisations, statutory bodies, and land managers. Our scope includes construction within internationally designated sites, coastal and beach management, and habitat restoration. All works are delivered under our UKAS-accredited ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, ensuring rigorous environmental risk control, regulatory compliance, and active protection of the habitats and species our clients are working to preserve.
