Stage 3 of a 5000 m contract for MoD including mulching and chainsaw work and a lot of hard work.
These works are to create replacement chalk grassland following the loss of an area due to the building of new houses for soldiers in Tidworth.
These next three images show just how steep the terrain was….

A few more pics of the roadside tree works in the north of the county We’ve been cutting back the roadside willows in Marston Meysey – clearing the willow trees that have become too large and are hanging onto the roadway
Marston Meysey is 3 miles (5 km) northeast of Cricklade on the county boundary with Gloucestershire.
Following recent call-outs due to high winds, we were back to work at Drew’s Pond – just south of Devizes – for health and safety works to the trees near and overhanging footpaths.
Drew’s Pond is a small community broadleaved coppiced managed woodland with plenty of paths and good bird and butterfly habitats.
December 2017 before Christmas:
Coming on apace with the new equestrian project in Chippenham. The stables and horse walker are going in this week, together with 400 m of native hedge for screening and 300 m of mains power trenched and connected.
Native hedges are quite simply hedges that have developed in an area naturally over thousands of years and continues to thrive, There are many extremely popular hedges that are native to us here in the UK such as box, beech and hornbeam, as well as alder buckthorn, hazel, guilder rose, spindle, dogwood, holly, dog rose, wild privet, Hawthorn. Native hedges are also beneficial to the local eco systems, acting as the perfect shelter for local wildlife. Yew is poisonous for horses so would not be used in this instance.
Today we undertook a roadside dismantle of unbalanced and dangerous sycamore trees on the main road into Devizes – so all hands on deck. The owner was concerned about the trees falling onto the highway. The three trees were 80ft tall but sitting on top of a 40ft bank so 120ft over the road surface below.
