Section Felling

Trees should ideally only be felled if they are deemed unsafe, unsightly or are no longer viable in their location. There are two ways which we can safely fell a tree to ground level. 1. Straight fell, if space and safety allows it. 2. Section fell, where a climber will enter the tree and will dismantle it in sections using rigging and lowering techniques to avoid damage below. This method is very effective of felling a tree to ground level in a restricted space. Other options are possible - please refer to the previous sections on reducing, crown thinning, pollarding etc.
