Proposal
Tag 1 - White Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) - Remove stem from bole to leave a 2m bole as habitat. Reason - Partial collapse of severely decayed part of tree. Remaining stem supported by very decayed bole. Risk of collapse. Area only open to site user and trespassers. Tree marked with orange paint. Tag 2 - Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) - Remove tree. Reason - Risk of collapse. Adjacent to access path to club sites. Tree marked with orange paint. Tag 3 - Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) - Reduce height to 1.5m to retain as habitat whilst removing risk of collapse across the path. Reason - This 6m bolling is the remains of a previously reduced tree. Given the lean towards the access path and the unknown level of decay at the base, there is a risk of collapse before the next tree survey. Data via plota.co.uk
