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.
