Good Fellers

Take ’em out. 

That was the instruction we gave to Yew Tree Landscapes And Tree Care Ltd. 

The hit took place yesterday afternoon. 

Although it may look like a senseless arboreal attack, this is actually a mercy mission. 

Like two hoodie thugs, the ash trees we took down were in fact crowding out the old lady oak. They had to go if she was to survive and flourish. 

They were also diseased and dangerous, like all good crims. 

But we won’t let their downfall be nothing more than environmental vigilantism. 

The useable timber from the felled ash trees will be planked up on site and used in the construction and fit out of our new home. And any off cuts will be stored to fuel our biomass boiler. 

You couldn’t really get more local with your timber and fuel supply. 

We are also busy planting many new native trees and other plants in an effort to improve the biodiversity of Rowan Farm. 

So despite arranging a contract kill with Yew Tree, we are not the boonie mobsters those troublesome ash trees might have you believe.
