It’s not all about felling trees! this week Tad and the team completed a new planting scheme on the edge of Bath.
The project was for 1.16ha (= 11600 (m2) with 1344 trees in 1.2m tubes.
The trees included mixed broadleaves including oak & beech, as well as field maple, wild service and hazel.
If the wild service tree isn’t as familiar to you as the others, then ” it’s a deciduous broadleaf which can reach 25m when mature.
(Sorbus torminalis) – the bark is brown and patterned with cracked, square plates, and the twigs are slender, shiny, grey-brown and straight”.
See the Woodland Trust website for more details
As part of ongoing woodland management areas are mulched on a 4 year rotation to help with insect and butterfly habitats
Right of Way cutting back – the brief was to cut back an overgrown Byway for WCC high up on the Pewsey Downs which had become overgrown and only passable by foot or motorbikes
The flail made short work of the dense thorn.
