Cutting Down the Weeping Beech

Progress Report: Continues

On the third day of the Weeping Beech tree removal, the Tree Team returned to continue their work. Despite challenging weather conditions, with relentless rain pouring down, the team pressed on with the dismantling process.

The day was marked by heavy rainfall, as captured in the photographs kindly provided by a member of FoSOC. These images reveal the difficulties faced by the team, working in wet and uncomfortable conditions.

One of the main obstacles was the exceptional weight of the branches, which required careful handling. In addition, the main trunk of the tree remains, and as seen in the photos, it is extremely large and will likely present further challenges as the team continues their work.

The Tree Teams came in again for remove further branches but are still waiting on the ‘Heavy Equipment’ back from repairs to deal with the trunk. Also the stormy weather of late has hampered further removal of the tree.

More photos added, many thanks to John Newton FoSOC member and to Bruce Larner for the photos of the Tree Team at work..
