A few pics of the last couple of days, cutting (expanding) rides through a woodland.

 

Fantastic for the wildlife; corridors like that are vital for sustaining a variety of species. Such humble species as the thrush and blackbird are birds of the forest margin and need openings like that. That work will be of huge benefit but I guess you know that so it must bring on a warm glow - nearly as warm as the one from the Highland Park!

Few from todays job with Garth Mc Garth, dead Oak beside scout hut.

 

Got my woggle in a twist with the bark sheeting off, gaffed out a fair bit, with crud under my gaffs making them about 1/16" long!

 

2 limbs over roof rigged out from adjacent Oak (big up to young Sam for setting the rigging anchor at around 50'), the rest knocked off in lumps, very dead top felled out with pull off.

 

Tree was sound as a pound in the middle TBH, but all the timber was bone dry right through.

 

Only stopped spiking up because of a warm feeling spreading down my right leg.

i seem to be getting lumbered with a lot of re-reductions at the moment....hate them! the spec on this job was to reduce back to previous reduction points.....that was out of the question, went a decent bit above that, didnt turn out so bad

 

You get alot of reductions cos you got an eye for it me thinks :001_smile:
