hope the job is easier than many of my riverbank tree jobs, i have had some unpredictable alders recently that look fine and are rotten

 

half a mile? i hope its not to heavily wooded been to look at 25 trees today for a job and recon its about 2-3days work, i hate having to try and fell stuff above head hight whilst working in the river

 

not a bad firewood if well seasoned

Ha they wont need chipping unless you bringing your swimming trunks to fetch them back out this is river conservation at the sharp end felling them into the channel for fisheries improvement (a complete 180 from about 5years ago)

 

although i may have something you might be interested in (top secret) will have a chat with the relevent people, some other habitat improvement works, defo will have to meet up for a beer and chat about mogs

I wasn't plugging for work mate, just thought you might have been working nearby. 25 trees isn't quite worth it for us lol. Unless the happen to be 10 ton poplars that is !
