Thanks for posting this David.

I have just returned from an interesting seminar on pollards at Burnham Beeches by Dr Helen Read and assumed that you might have been the person hanging from various trees in her presentation slides. Guilty or not?

[David Humphries]

You're welcome, some very interesting reading & background information behind the NTSG document, particularly the reports on risk perception by Dr Ball and his colleagues..

 

 

Not sure abot the photos tbh, we've been undertaking some of reduction work on the veteran pollards at Burnham every year since 2007 I think, don't recall being up any personally since about 2010 so depends on how old Helen's photos were.
