Description

Deadwood removal (application exempt) and crown clean of one Corsican Pine. The crown clean will include the removal of crossed branches within the canopy. In addition, end-weight reductions are proposed to selected branches (as identified within the annotated photographs in the report). These works will involve thinning the outermost foliage on the specified branches by approximately 20% (1:5) in order to reduce mechanical loading on these limbs during high wind events.
