Recently, we have been working for Horsham District Council in Southwater Country Park. The job is split into three phases totalling three weeks works. We will be carrying out a combination of chipping the waste on site and making neat sacks with brush and logs. However, some of this depended on whether the access allows us to gain entrance with our chipper.
On arrival we laid out our Tree Cutting Sign this serves as a clear visual warning, alerting people passing by to potential dangers. We set up our chipper and began cutting away. We were requested to clear fell from 5m-8m from the waters edge. This was done to allow the water from the lake to be reoxygenated and improve the health and condition of all wildlife in and around the lake.
Tree’s are removed to prevent them causing damage to the pond and its ecosystem. Overhanging branches and fallen leaves can create a significant amount of debris in the water, which can lead to water quality issues and potentially harm aquatic life. Additionally, the roots of trees can grow deep into the ground and disturb the balance of the pond by taking up excess nutrients and water.
We chipped all branches on site where access allowed us. We created habitat hedges around the lake from the trees that were felled. The posts securing these hedges are made from the trees that we have felled. Over the next four days we will be updating the website with our progress and keeping you informed of the progress at Southwater Country Park.
