Hi, the 7ft figure was the girth of some of the trees taken at 5ft above ground. The site is based in the North East of England. It was only a very rough figure, more to get them to realising forestry ain't cheap. The timber is of poor quality and they are wanting to increase biodiversity so machinery would be a problem.

Of Morning all, I am a current volunteer at a new local forest school. The owners have purchased approximately 36 acres of semi ancient woodland on top of an old mining site. The main species are Spruce, Larch, Birch and oak. They have carried out their management plan and have a felling licence in place. The question I would like some kind of answer to is along the line of an average price a professional would charge for taking down a number of large trees, in excess of 100 ft with a high of 7ft at 5ft from ground. Many of the trees will need to be sectioned from the top to minimise some of the better specimens below. I fear the new owners are going to get quite the fright when enlightened to the true cost of professional arborist and what costs they incur just to get the job done. All brash and logs would need to be stacked on site. I totally understand if you are reluctant to give a figure. It's just a number I need to get them to listen too Many thanks Mark

I've just changed to Miendl Wood Walker Pro. Very comfy and feel like they're built to last. You may need to insert some arch lifts for your condition.
