A mature Sweet Chestnut tree across from the main Batchwood Car Park started to uproot itself. It was a potential hazard and and the team at Batchwood Golf and Sports Centre arranged for it to be removed on 14 November.
Sweet Chestnut is an excellent wood to work with, so we have asked the Arborist to leave the felled tree trunk in segments we can plan to use. This tree is ideal for milling into planks and other similar projects because it does not easily rot.
