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.
DO I NEED PERMISSION TO CUT DOWN A TREE?
If you own your home, you don’t need obtain permission to fell a tree that’s solely within your garden unless it is subject to a Tree Preservation Order.
WHY SHOULD I FELL TREES?
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.
SUSTAINABLE TIMBER
Felling trees can be a sustainable method of gathering timber as we all use things made from wood every day from books to doors to tables. When forests are looked after properly, they can provide a renewable source of wood forever. By providing homegrown timber to the nation, we can also reduce demand on the resources of other countries where forests may not be managed responsibly
KEEP SAFE
Over time, storm damage or disease can cause a tree to become brittle, lose branches or fall down entirely. To protect everyone’s safety, removing trees that pose a risk is vital, especially if they’re near to places like a play area or walking trail. The wood isn’t wasted and can often be left in the forest as deadwood to provide vital habitat for a range of creatures. This is important because millions of people visit the nation’s forests every year to relax, to play or to exercise.
CONTROL PESTS AND DISEASES
The spread of pests and diseases can cause devasting impacts to our woodlands and kill huge
numbers of trees. The careful monitoring and felling of trees can help to mitigate harm.
THIN OUT FORESTS
When we plant a forest to produce timber, trees are planted close together to grow tall and straight with fewer branches, producing stronger timber with fewer knots in the wood. Felling smaller trees can create space and light for the others to grow better, thinning out forests. Thinning also lets more light in to the forest floor, which increases the diversity of plants in our woodlands and encourages more wildlife. Felling trees can create other habitats, allowing wildlife and nature to flourish.
