Tree Lopper takes down a Tree

Cherry Picker takes him to the top, originally uploaded by Ladymaggic.

This was fascinating.

The tree was old, and discarding leaves and branches,and because it was in a caravan park where safety is an issue, it was chopped down.

The birds who made this their regular haunt flew off in total dismay.

The area around the tree was cleared.
The cherry picker was positioned and the man with a hand-held electric saw went up in the cherry picker.
He carefully cut branches and threw them down to where two colleagues collected them and put them straight into the shredder.
The branches were shredded into bark, which was later used to put back into gardens.
Neatly, carefully, efficiently the huge tree that had taken maybe 50 years to grow, was demolished in less than a hour, and shredded into reusable tree bark.
The annexes were returned, the area swept and cleared of debris, and life continued on for all except the tree.
