At the work party on 14th Dec we were walking towards the the path alongside the Sort-It centre when we came across this tree that had fallen across the path that heads down past the Paddock. It was a considerable blockage and had completely shut the path that forms part of the Jubilee Way.
We had intended to spread wood chip on the muddy path that the UWE students had begun last time so we split into two groups to get both jobs done.
As you can see in this close up photo the tree does not have a single trunk but is rather a tangle of small branches which will be easier to deal with.
Our local tree warden - Chris, was with us today and along with Graham and Peter ...
... they took the tree apart slowly and carefully piece by piece.
The did a fine job and the path was quickly restored.
While the tree removal was taking place the rest of us shifted another few loads of wood chip along the path to where the three UWE students had spread a lot of wood chip to improve the path.
All in all a different work party but a good day where we ended up with a fallen tree cleared and a path made a bit easier to walk along.
