Description

South Approach Woodlands T1947 Ash- It is recommended that the crown is reduced by approximately 6 m in height and 3 m in radial branch length, to reduce loading and increase the amount of shelter provided by surrounding trees, to reduce the potential for stem failure and retain the tree and the habitat it currently provides. A reduction of 6 m in height will prevent the tree from being able to reach the railway fence line if it were to fail, providing a balanced approach to risk management and habitat retention
