Here we reduced 46 lime trees up to 30m in height. WCC had obtained an initial tree survey from another contractor but we were the only contractor with the correct machinery to undertake the works in a safe and timely manner. To make the work more interesting, the site also contained a number of powerlines and an electric sub-station, so power lines were covered, and the sub-station protected prior to starting.

1800m stock fence replaced for Natural England at Parsonage Down, Warminster

Our new 25.6m Cherry Picker (MEWP)
Our new 25.6m Articulated Truck Mounted Platform/4×4 MAN truck has arrived and is available for hire should you need some extra height.
It has a huge outreach of some 12.5m and full details may be found on our website shortly.
Our shorter 14m cherry picker (the yellow one) is better for work in confined spaces where the lorry base of this new one would be too big.
Both are available for hire.
More Tornado equinet and creosote timber fencing and paddocks near Marlborough
This is a continuation of work we have undertaken earlier in the year. The Equinet and creosote fencing is to keep the polo ponies in and the dogs out and the new paddocks are for yearlings and resting racehorses. Equinet is from the UK Tornado brand and the UK equivalent for Keepsafe which is a USA product.
Great job by Alex Draper, Dave Thompson and Adam Patterson.

CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED IN DEVON TO TACKLE ASH DIEBACK
As reported in last week’s CLA newsletter, a new campaign has been launched in Devon to encourage landowners with ash trees on their property to inspect them for Ash dieback.
Devon County Council’s “My tree, my responsibility” campaign, supported by the Devon Ash Dieback Resilience Forum, aims to inform owners of trees to look out for signs of the fungal tree disease and to take any appropriate action in order to maintain public safety.
