This mature Poplar tree had sadly not responded well to some pretty severe pruning work a few years ago at a local school. As the tree was no longer stable enough to climb, we decided to make use of a MEWP to get the tree down safely. Luckily for the local bird and bug population, the school was keen to retain the logs in a neat pile for habitat and a 3-metre section of the main stem was left standing. Wherever possible, it is always a great idea to retain standing dead timber for birds and insects to use for habitat.
