If you’re visiting the VIP Enclosure sponsored by Rathbones at The Game Fair this year, you may find the space feels strikingly familiar — and that’s no accident. For the second year running, Nature First will transform the enclosure into a beautiful, mature landscape filled with semi-mature trees. Here is a closer look at how they make it happen: by moving fully established trees into place.

Creating Instant Parkland with Moved Trees

Gone are the days when trees in the wrong place had to be sacrificed. Thanks to Nature First’s specialist machinery and expert team, trees can now be safely relocated — even large, semi-mature specimens — with a success rate of over 95%. Using cutting-edge tree spade technology, the company lifts and transplants trees with minimal disruption and impressive efficiency.

Whether it’s transforming a rural field into an instant parkland, or reshaping a golf course or garden without losing established greenery, tree moving is becoming the smarter, more sustainable choice.

“We’ve invested in a high-quality fleet designed specifically for safe, large-scale tree relocation. In many cases, moving trees costs just a fraction — as little as one-tenth — of what it would take to source and plant new ones. Plus, you’re giving an existing tree a second life.”

Recent Project

Earlier this year, the team showcased their capabilities on a project in the Cotswolds, where they moved trees from a woodland into open fields to create an instant parkland. With the help of a custom-built log bridge and even an ex-army lorry, the operation transformed the landscape completely.

       

Bringing the Outdoors In

At The Game Fair VIP Enclosure sponsored by Rathbones, Nature First’s approach allows guests to experience the benefits of this tree-moving expertise up close. The enclosure becomes a peaceful retreat, shaded by fully grown trees that seem as if they’ve stood there for years.

Enjoy the ringside view of the Main Arena, relax in the greenery with tea or lunch, and soak in a moment of nature — all made possible by some extraordinary logistics and a deep commitment to sustainability.
