Whipsnade Zoo Beech tree reduction

ZSL Whipsnade Zoo calle dus in to work on a large Beech tree on the edge of the African Drive Through. 

Dave was working in the tree reducing it back and removing any deadwood. The drive through was briefly closed to the public whilst the work was carried out.

The branches were collected and loaded up onto the zoo's tractor to be fed to the animals as browse. Got to love a bit of on-site recycling! :o)
