Some serious windblow today to cut our way into a forest to recover 2 360s that have been putting in a new road, big trees and apart from a smashed mirror and light, a bent exhaust and a bit of a dint in a panel no damage, couldn't have been luckier, once the big girl got freed and on helping push the stumps overwe really cleared some tonnage of oak beech and larch. The 2 saws are a 390xp with 28"bar and 088 with 36" for scale.

Wouldn't go quite that far, just the only 1 daft anough to do it!

Some fantastic trees have been lost for sure and it's mostly the scabby 1ns left but the landowner has almost been talked into leaving these or at least making safe and replanting around them to create a mixed age/species woodland.

Can't take full responsibility for this. Protected Beech on the Lake front in Taupo. Upgrade of the footpath from block paving to concrete but they didn't want to concrete over the roots. The landscape architect came up with this board walk to go over the root plate. The tree had suffered years of root compaction from people and vehicles walking and driving over it. To be fair, there was some root damage during construction due to the bloody contractors not giving a flying monkeys about the tree but at least the thought behind it was good and hopefully will reduce the damage caused by foot traffic in the future. Also got a big feed of well rotted mulch and horse manure.
