It’s not all about felling trees! this week Tad and the team completed a new planting scheme on the edge of Bath.
The project was for 1.16ha (= 11600 (m2) with 1344 trees in 1.2m tubes.
The trees included mixed broadleaves including oak & beech, as well as field maple, wild service and hazel.
If the wild service tree isn’t as familiar to you as the others, then ” it’s a deciduous broadleaf which can reach 25m when mature.
(Sorbus torminalis) – the bark is brown and patterned with cracked, square plates, and the twigs are slender, shiny, grey-brown and straight”.
See the Woodland Trust website for more details
As part of ongoing woodland management areas are mulched on a 4 year rotation to help with insect and butterfly habitats
Right of Way cutting back – the brief was to cut back an overgrown Byway for WCC high up on the Pewsey Downs which had become overgrown and only passable by foot or motorbikes
The flail made short work of the dense thorn.

Treading lightly today to carry out Ecology on a veteran tree; once the tree was given the all-clear, it was sectionally dismantled. Jan 2024
100m of palisade security fence supplied and erected in a bespoke green. This is to match new buildings erected by ED & W Bodman for a container storage facility near Swindon. Nov 2023
Happy New Year.
Let’s hope that this is the last of the rain for the next few weeks. We must be due some cold, crisp and dry days!
With all posts now in, there’s a suitable point to break for Christmas. a project which has been challenging at times.
A little more scrub to tidy up in 2024 and a few 1000m of netting to pull up.
The Compact Protech post driver is off to pastures new in January, with a new one ready to be collected.
New sign writing not so visible now!
The stack of timber and pictures do not do this project justice. We removed 15 very large poplars from a narrow and sometimes waterlogged strip of land between a security fence and an SSSI canal, then through a very small gate.
A great result which can only be described as a job that never went wrong but had its challenges!
Well Done – Scott, Cameron, Antony, Samuel and the team.
