Low impact forestry services in Devon and the South West

Clearfell. Job done.
 
In all seriousness, get it QTRA (or equivalent!) surveyed and go from there would be my advice.

What's QTRA?

Quantified Tree Risk Assessment. It is one of a number of tools that can be used to risk assess trees. 

What you are proposing in that location  warrants a documented tree risk assessment undertaken by someone qualified imo.

As above, zone it into walk ways fr kids to be escorted through, make an activity area fr crafting etc, much less liability ( tell kids they will be eaten by goblins if they stray - always works ? ) K

Yep I agree, I am not qualified in this department.
Can you recommend an individual or organisation?

It's already like this, but the kids are kids, they go everywhere.
I'm considering removing up to half the trees, purely for litigation purposes[emoji20]
As the school budget really can't afford to keep up the maintenance.
I even suggested fencing off half of the woodland as a nature reserve, but they want to use the whole woodland.
That's why I was thinking of ways for the woodland to pay for maintenance.
I'm quite prepared to throw in the odd day or two for the craic, but it needs a team of climbers for a week just to make it "safer".
