Tree Survey Work

Our department has been working around the Town cutting away Ivey that has grown around a lot of the trees. This work is essential in assisting us to monitor the heath and condition of the trees.

However it can also take over areas such as woodland creating top heavy trees which may be blown over in high winds.
