Mark pollarding willow trees along a watercourse

Posted on by Debbie Newman

Here, Mark is pollarding willow trees along a watercourse, all made safe and easy with the Vosch grapple saw.

 Pollarding is the process of cutting all limbs of the tree back to the main stem to reduce the weight and likelihood of the main stem splitting and failing.  This can only be done on certain species of tree that will regenerate afterwards.

Pollarding an avenue of Lime Trees in West Lavington

Posted on by Debbie Newman

What a difference a week makes –  storms and strong winds delayed the start to a lime avenue pollarding project in West Lavington.

Great work by all involved  –  2 MEWPS do make it safe and much easier.

See here for details of the MEWPs used by Conservation Contractors

We finally were able to get back to finish the pollards in West Lavington once the school had broken up for Easter. The recent high winds delayed the start of the project
Great job by all involved.
