Fallen giant at Iver Heath

The team have been working for Buckinghamshire County Council at Iver Heath, a beautiful area full of amazing Veteran trees.

A large Beech had been undermined over the years by a small stream running beneath it and had fallen to the forest floor. The whole root plate had lifted and  tree was still very much alive. The team reduced the tree, removed the limbs badly damaged by the fall and cleared the branches away from the fenceline.

The tree has a strong chance of survival and the roots certainly have a good water supply! Hopefully this tree will continue for a long life amongst its amazing veteran neighbours.
