Rich, Matt and Geoff have been busy pollarding a hornbeam in Burbage, in the Vale of Pewsey.
Pollarding is a pruning system in which the upper branches of a tree are removed, promoting a dense head of foliage and branches. It has been common in Europe since medieval times and is practised today in urban areas worldwide, primarily to maintain trees at a predetermined height.
Pollarding is a method of pruning that keeps trees and shrubs smaller than they would naturally grow.

Sites of special scientific interest (SSSIs) are protected by law to conserve their wildlife or geology.
Natural England can identify land you own or occupy as an SSSI – this is called being designated.
