Two birch trees cut down in Velp
Today two tall thin birches were cut down in Velp. These people love trees, but these two tall, thin birches stood between two thicker, large birches and therefore received less light. To prevent problems in the future, I removed the two thin birch trees as a method of "thinning". This will allow the thicker birch trees next to it to develop better in the future.
Felling of two birch trees
Here I climbed one of the two birch trees to be removed (the two thinner ones) using my "climbing tracks". Metal points on the inside of my feet that allow me to stand in the bark. I attach myself as high as possible (top anchor) and then I can work very well lower, also on the adjacent trees.
...and another photo :-)
