For
various reasons it may be necessary
to remove trees,
there are two ways to do this. .
Directional
Tree Felling: Where
space and safety permit a tree can
be felled in one piece.
Dismantling: Also
known as Section Felling...
Very often space is limited and the
tree must be taken down piece by piece.
If the area below the tree is clear
and free from obstructions cut branches
can simply be allowed to fall. When
branches are too large or heavy for
the climber to hold and throw clear
or obstructions prevent their 'free
falling', then lowering ropes must
be used.
