Coronet

[Dean Lofthouse]

they are going to do that to a dying ash at college for habitat. insteat of coronet cuts, they are going to cut from one sid and winch it over, not the done thing i know , but will be better for the wildlife apparetly.

i have to say i think boring into the timber with a timber auger of about one to one and a half inches would be better as it will allow rot faster surely and also allow to beetles that require internal timber easier access eg greater and lesser stag beetles

 

it will also allow for a more constant temperature for bats (which cant tolerate temp fluctuations) to roost

 

I would be interested to see some scientific papers done on these different methods of conservation cuts and how they compare, eg is one technique better for one group of animals

 

maybe if someone needs a good dissy for uni (or PhD! )

it will look rubbish indeed. but it is in some woods out of the way. no one will see it .

Out of interest Huck, what saw/s did you use for the Coros?

And was it priced into the job? In terms of time, fuel and hassle.
