Hi mate second from the bottom is that a hospital in Liverpool? Or am I mistaken?

Hello,

Old norwich hospital but a lot look similar from that era of design.

A beech tree which had a huge failure in the recent storms. A heavy reduction to hopefully retain the tree, but if it declines and fails it’s a lower risk and will become a valuable habitat being a mature boundary tree.

One of the first solo jobs for my guys too, so quite a proud moment nevertheless.

Bet the hand-sawing helped to keep you warm.

Yes mate, a new blade on the silky flew through the limes.

 

Long days though.  8 hours the first and 9 the second with two 20-30 minute breaks each day.

Retrenchment on a cracking old Oak pollard with extensive Oak polypore

Is that an old coronet cut?

[Mark Bolam]

I would bloody hope so!

[Mick Dempsey]

If so, was there any ospreys or great auks in there? Looked pretty sterile to me.

Nothing of note lurking in em, about 5 years old I think

Nice to see old trees being well managed like that.
