Reducing a group of 5 poplar trees at Heywood House

Posted on by Debbie Newman

Reducing a group of 5 poplar trees at Heywood House today. A two cherry picker day!!

Formerly National Trust, Heywood House in Westbury is now privately run as offices.

A group of trees in the main car park were reduced as they had become too high and the view across to Westbury White Horse was no longer visible from the offices !!

Removal of Asian Hornets nest in Hull

Removal of Asian Hornets nest in Hull today. The nest was treated on the previous day so no one was at home today!   Well done Liam Williams.

 

This was part of our contract with DERFA for pest and disease control – a random piece of work that sees us chasing non-native species across England to help them with control and removal in hard-to-reach positions.

We were in Plymouth earlier in the summer.

There’s this link with more information and an alert link if you think you have spotted a nest.

I even had to brush my hair on this occasion!

It was for “That’s TV” which is broadcast around Salisbury.  Only 1min 30 seconds…
