Tree Surgery

Friday, February 24th 2012

Tree surgeons from Lowther Forestry were back on site today to remove the weight from some of the large ancient trees along the Beck.

The trees have been carefully surveyed to ensure that only the necessary boughs are removed for health and safety reasons.

The work should help to prolong the lives of some of Foxglove's most special tree specimens.

Several volunteers continued to tidy the brash in the Hazel Coppice area. This patch is looking really superb now and work will be continuing here next week. Thanks to Mike, Tony, David, Paul and the students from Askham Bryan who all put in a huge amount of effort today.

Hazel Coppicing

No ducks were caught in the traps today, maybe due to the waves on the water bodies caused by the high winds!
