The brash is cut with loppers |
and dragged into piles for shredding later. |
Showing Sailis how to use a pruning saw safely. |
Another felled spruce |
Elderflower, Sambucus niger, was tangled under the brambles |

The traffic safety team ready for felling the last tree, |

Last in the row was a Norway Spruce, Picea abies |
Edgar felled it at noon |
and it lay across the car park |

The felled tree contained a Woodpigeon nest, |
with two fledgling Columba palumbus, Woodpigeon, |
young pigeons are called "squabs" |
The task of clearing the brash begins ... |
