WHAT IS TREE FELLING?
Tree felling is where trees are cut down and can be an important part of logging, protecting the natural environment. The person cutting the trees is called a feller. A feller buncher is a machine capable of felling a single large tree or grouping and felling several small ones simultaneously.
It is well known that we cannot survive without trees, and that we need to plant more. Therefore, it can feel a bit odd to decide to fell a tree. However, when the tree is felled responsibly, this can actually be a good thing for the health of forests. Whether for harvesting sustainable timber,
protecting trees and people, or creating new habitats, there are several reasons why it is okay to cut down trees.
Tree felling should always be performed by competent, qualified, and insured tree surgeons. The need for tree removal usually arises from underlying issues such as disease, decay, or the tree becoming a hazard. These conditions can complicate the removal process, making it essential to assess each tree individually.
Sometimes, trees need to be removed to make way for new construction projects. When site conditions permit, trees are felled from ground level using wedges and pulling cables. However, in most cases, space constraints necessitate the expertise of a tree surgeon to ensure safe and effective removal.
