Every year on 22nd April, Earth Day invites people around the world to pause and consider their relationship with the planet. It’s a moment for reflection, but also a call to action — urging individuals and businesses alike to take responsibility for the future of our natural world.
At The Brush and Broom, sustainability isn’t just a trend — it’s embedded in how we operate and create. As part of Hillbrush, our commitment to environmentally conscious craftsmanship is more than a promise — it’s part of our legacy. And today, we’re proud to share a glimpse into one of the ways we’re honouring that commitment: our rewilded woodland space.
Rewilding Our Roots 🌱
Captured in the video above is a quiet corner of the Hillbrush site — a dedicated woodland area that we’ve allowed to rewild. This land has been left to grow naturally, encouraging biodiversity, creating habitat, and offering sanctuary to wildlife, pollinators, and native plant species. What was once managed ground is now a thriving ecosystem in its own right, supporting our wider mission to give back to the land we rely on.
A Greener Way to Clean ✨
Our Natural by Hillbrush collection reflects the same values — combining sustainably sourced FSC® certified beechwood with natural brush fibres, many of which are biodegradable. From household cleaning to grooming your pets or your horse, each brush is designed with care for both people and planet in mind.

Small Changes, Big Impact
In addition to our products, our site includes solar panels to generate renewable energy, EV charging stations to support green transport, and of course, our woodland rewilding project — a small but significant gesture of giving back to the planet.
This Earth Day, we invite you to reconnect with nature, re-evaluate your everyday choices, and reimagine what sustainability can look like — whether it’s in the brushes you use, the spaces you tend, or the world you want to help shape.
Together, we can make a difference. 🌍
