Fairly Major Tree Felling

Leave a reply

Abingdon
Ben has just sent in another tree story. He reports a fairly major tree felling going on in the Albert Park yesterday afternoon. This affected trees near the park depot.

Today was the 1st of October. I visited the park at about 8:30 am, and I could not see much sign of the previous day’s tree felling as the logs had been removed.

There was some sawdust, and the tree with the kinky horizontal branch had lost some kinks.

Otherwise things were as to be expected at this time of year. Leaves are turning from green to brown. If money grew on trees, we’d soon be raking it in.

New interpretation board
There is a new interpretation board highlighting the main features of the Albert Park in Abingdon, and some of the park’s history. The board has been donated by the Albert Park Residents’ Association. The park is looked after by Christ’s Hospital of Abingdon, and was created as a recreation ground for all the people of Abingdon.

Ben found the notice on a tree in the park. He said “It’s a useful and informative notice, but it would be a lot more useful if you could actually read it without having to stand under the tree … Hand included for scale.”

I am glad they are keeping the tree as it is one of my favourite Abingdon trees

I am less keen on the tree that is growing through the roof of nearby Conduit House.
