Find out about us
Established in 1988 as a trading arm of Northumberland Wildlife Trust, EcoNorth started actively trading in 2008 out of a small office in the Trust’s premises in Gosforth and with shared Trust staff. Since then we have gone from strength to strength.
Today, we have our own premises, a dedicated team of highly skilled and experienced staff, a broad range of clients and cover the whole of the UK and Ireland. We have diversified our offer through a range of collaborators and developed our own in-house arboricultural service.
Yet we remain true to our roots by ensuring much of our profits are reinvested back into supporting local conservation for people and wildlife; something that our clients and team value.
