Tree Felling 2019~2008
Over the last 23 years trees have been felled for two major reasons: As the years dawn and the trees grow this is an ongoing process
- Type B: Along the bund and it's immediate edges to stop large trees from falling and damaging the bund and others towards the river to delay erosion.
- Type L: Around the vegetable growing area, mostly for extra light.
- Type K: Clearing tree near Kerensa Gardens for damage limitation and light for their property.
- Type T: Along the main access track for general safety and maintenance.

Cut trees along the bund far north from the turning bay for access and case one should fall and damage the bund/
May 7th B
Cut trees along the bund north of the boat up to the turning bay. The final tree didn't fall as I got the direction wrong and it sat on the saw. Although I removed the chain saw the poor cutting angle allows the tree to stand. I'm hoping|expecting a strong wind will blow it either into the marsh or across the bund. ? See Trees on the Bund for detail.
Yes the wind played it's part

Cut trees at top of track overhanging Cottage Gardens
February 3rd T
Had intended to cut a tree that was overhanging the track and cut a direction cut. I replaced the wedge so the tree couldn't fall that way, south, if there was sufficient potential force. What I hadn't anticipated was the kinetic energy supplied by massive winds from the south which blew the tree north. It lay wedged between other trees parallel form the ground some ten feet high with a large part of the truck crossing the track, which I removed.
