We recently had to take this down - it was surrounded by paths and in awful condition at basal area...

Chris was there any mitigation for the known Noctule bat roost? or did you have to complete the work whilst the roost was empty, if it wasnt empty how did you deal with the bats?

[christreeroot]

We did an aerial inspection of tree - no bats were present so we used exclusion techniques to make sure no bats started to reuse between inspection times and tree removal....

 

We also carried out dawn & dusk surveys of the tree.

 

Natural England specified that bat boxes be placed in surrounding trees as mitigation..

 

Although only bat boxes were specified we like to add extra nmitigation around the site using our "natural roost features"

Thanks Barney.

 

Where it was parked was on the edge of a slope going down to the river - we had some hairy moments with it slipping towards the edge when reversing it in as the path was thin and full of damp leaves:scared:

Nice looking fell Ben.

Plenty of burning material in that sucka !

 

Did it roll on to that front branch; or did you fell with it pointing to the front.

If so could you not have knocked out the branches pre fell?

Not a jibe, just interested.
