Felling willow tomorrow.

[Mike Hill]

 

Hopefully you'll do better than the blokes the other side of the river from us last week who pollarded a willow over the river - they just chucked all the brash in the water and waved goodbye to it!

 

I would have thrown it in the water from up the Tree.

 

Amatures.

Ideal site for wildlife in trees along the river, check for evidence in and around the location of trees. Best to survey each one before felling or disturbing habitats. Pair of waders may come in handy and pack some spare dry clothes in case!!

what is your concern? the river banking or the species?

willow is great to work with, cuts like butter and is nice and chewy.
