January 18th Clearing sycamore and ash

2022

December 24th A bit more clearing for the target area and then . . .

The two stumps to the right are from previous fellings. The right most is covered in saw dust the adjacent one and the smaller one to the left of it have been lowered to have better access to the remaining 'trunk'.

December 22nd Cleared a little more in preparation for felling the last part of the 'big' sycamore by the shed. It's worth noting that although I labelled the recent two as 'b' and 'c' there were two previous fellings. This sycamore had 4 large 'trunks' or boles. December 21st Cleared way to fell remaining bole of sycamore. The image shows access cleared to last part and some logs from previous trunk and lumps from previous stumps

December 4th Felled foot wide sycamore, part of large one to the left of the entrance to the triangle field.

Big Ash

October 22nd [A] Decided it was to difficult and risky to take down an ash tree by lopping so felled it. It was growing out of the boundary wall but leaning towards the neighbours field. As I was reluctant to go into the neighbours field to fell I didn't manage to cut it so that it fell where I wanted. There was a small piece of the trunk still attached as it fell so rather than falling into the triangle filed it fell on the boundary wall.

November 13th [A] Managed to cut two pieces off the trunk by sawing up and letting the ends drop. November 19th [A] Cut another piece off the trunk and cut down the stump a bit.

May 16th 2025 The two large logs, below, had been moved out of the △ to the side of the track. Two years later they have been sawn and removed to enable better access to the △

December 1st ~ 2nd [A] Managed to cut large branch and pull to ground

December 6th All trunks etc. of the above work brought to ground. Area cleared of twigs and mowed.
