Several trees are to be pruned or felled at Le Guet next week.
Some of the trees in the area are estimated to be 80 years old, and regular intervention is required to remove branches and trees that have become less stable, and are at risk of toppling over.
A recent arboricultural survey identified various trees in need of maintenance, which will take place from 2 November and is expected to last for approximately one month.
Unsafe branches or trees will remain on-site after they have been felled, and the deadwood will be left in suitable places to provide habitats for local invertebrates, birds and small mammals.
As part of the overall management of Le Guet, several new trees have been planted each year for the last three years, in areas where there is enough light to support their growth.
Following an arboricultural survey of Le Guet, essential woodland management has been commissioned to take place from 2nd November for approximately one month. The works will include pruning and felling to remove unsafe trees and branches. Read more: https://t.co/YoarxB9de0 pic.twitter.com/DZz8bpQJfo
