Conservation area

[Stubby]

Now you have your evidence clean up the cut .

Well it's only a tree so don't get too upset about it,

 

Rather than going ape at the person who did this, lets take our anger out on whoever allowed them think they could do this without asking.

 

Clearly a failure in the management system, if all the volunteers thought they could fell whatever they want there would soon be no trees at all.

 

Looking at the scant evidence, are any of you trained in tree work?

Hey the dead wood once that limb decays will create some good habitat.

Bit of a waste of firewood, find a lump of nail ridden poplar for the bugs and micro beasties to feast on.

Thanks for the comments , my first instinct was to immediately climb and remedial prune, but as rightly pointed out bats may be winter roosting, is it wise to leave till spring arrives with this in mind?

As for the volunteer, only his wife attends meetings, he chooses not to.instead he seeks out his own work he can do. Although i have trained in Arboriculture the work i do with this conservation group is interesting when we have a diverse group working together. We have people that work for the countryside council for Wales, park rangers, and we have some members of "The association of polelathe turners and greenwood workers"

If its a conservation area, then he is in breach of the six week notification!

Apert from that he needs tellingin no uncertain terms that he has to seek authority for any future work he intends to undertake.

 

The words Idiot and moron come to mind.

And teach him to step cut / under cut or whatever so that he does not rip any bark or another B/CH .

When i say conservation area, it is a conservation group that have bought a disused quarry and turned into a nature reserve, i understand the six week notice system in a designated conservation area, but i believe this is not that type , if you know what i mean

Even if he doesn't attend the meetings, surely the news of the managements displeasure would filter back to him, and maybe something would come of it, like vols paying attention to the committees plans?

 

Also might be worth throwing in BS 3998:2010, in passing in the next commitee meeting, it might scare him off doing any more drastic work.

I will be confronting the individual in question, and pointing out the error of his ways! I would like to prune him!
