On a serious note though, how big is the chunk with the nest in, has it been processed yet? Get in touch with your local beekeepers association, there are people out there who'd pay for a chunk of hollow stem like that, previously used by bees. They are perfect for making natural hives or for people taking a hands-off approach.

Interesting, thanks Peds, one of the team on Saturday has bees and knows the local association well, will speak to him.

Tricky one today.

 

The previous crew who pollarded this fairly knackered willow obviously didn’t fancy the big decayed lateral over a deep ditch, so they simply left it.

 

No anchor to work off, so Danny Mac rigged it off itself into the drink, then we winched it out butt first with a pre set higher line in an adjacent tree.

Oak and ash removals, and the obligatory lleyandi reduction.

Typical Friday today. Was getting pretty fed up with the world until i had a beer. Subbed out this morning to a builder with the Avant to move some building materials. 5min job turned into a few hours which meant I didn't get to this beech until just gone 12. Forgot a before picture but managed to give it a quick reduction and was unloaded and back the yard by 4. Met the other gang only to be greated by a tracked chipper that had shit its belts 🤦‍♂️

I reckon they left that branch for a swing, not cause they didn't fancy it.

Pop reduction, around 3meters off the sides and 1meter off the top. Genuinely over 100ft, don’t do many trees this big.

 Forgot to take any before pic’s, sorry.
