Despite it being nesting season when most landowners avoid any tree works, this one employs a contractor from Bath to chainsaw large trees that whilst fallen aren't completely dead. Besides, any deadwood is normally left to naturally decay in ancient woodlands as part of the important process of biodiversity. Luckily, local people intervened with a Council officer who arranged for Protected Species Risk Assessments to be completed. This unnecessary action is yet more evidence of a lack of good practice and plain ignorance.
