There was a lot of high vis going on today - these fellas trimming various trees around our flats, and later on, there was a knock at the door and a BT Openreach engineer had turned up to have a look at our internet problem. Tim explained to him that our phone number had been changed, and he went off to have a footle in the comms box. We didn't hear anything for ages, so Tim gave him a call later on, and he did eventually get us switched back on. I made plenty of use of my mobile data up to that point though.
Busy work day again. Very glad to stop for the weekend :)

Yesterday was my annual visit from the tree surgeons.
Apart from the usual hedge cutting etc the main event was the removal of a very unsightly old holly tree with a crown of dead ivy.
Lots more light in the studio now!
During the process of our works clearing the trees for the Sapphire to Woolgoolga Upgrade of the Pacific Highway in NSW we are required to remove trees that have been identified by the Project Ecologists as possibly being inhabited by the locally indigenous fauna. Trees that have been identified as “Habitat Trees” are left standing completely isolated after all other vegetation has been removed for 48 Hours. This time period encourages the wildlife to move on to less exposed trees that are not in the clearing envelope. Once the 48 hour period is up the Project Ecologists (Benchmark Environmental Services) attend site and supervise the felling of the “Habitat Trees” and carry out inspections of the trees once on the ground to rescue any animals that may still inhabit the trees. During this process our crews work closely with the Ecologists to gently move portions of the tree to assist in the recovery process or to relocate hollows with native bee hives (Trigona carbonaria). This process has been extremely successful, in most cases the animals have moved on by the time the trees are felled. However, when animals are encountered these have in all cases been successfully rescued and released. Some of the species rescued to date include the following:
•Green Tree Snakes
•Carpet Pythons
•Green Tree Frogs
•Brushtail Possums
•Squirrel Gliders
•Sugar Gliders
•Ringtail Possums
•Scaly Breasted Lorikeets
•Skinks
•Water Dragons
•Galahs
The giant poplar tree in our friend's former yard. This huge tree actually won an award for being one of the largest Harpold Poplars in our area, but over the past few years the giant tree was dying and shedding branches. It had to go
There are few that have the skill, strength and audacity to climb high up in a dying oak and swing a chainsaw through thin air.
The oak tree was getting a bit dangerous and as it's only 20ft from the back door a bit of a cut back is appreciated.

The District Council Parks and Gardens guys arrived to pollard the Silver Poplars. It is amazing just how much foliage this group of trees produce. In Autumn the whole area is coated sometimes inches deep in the shiny leaves.

Our son had a huge and possibly dangerous pine tree in his garden. It has taken the tree surgeons 2 days to reduce the tree to a stump. The process of removing the tree required the guys to climb the tree to reduce it in manageable pieces.

Conservation ring-barking may seem like an oxymoron, but it's important to remove this fast-growing competition from the ancient oak pollards on the nature reserve. Ring-barking the birch (Betula pendula) rather than felling it provides standing deadwood, which is great habitat for all manner of small beasties! www.lastingspring.co.uk
