-
- For various reasons, it may be necessary to remove trees. This can
be done in two ways:
-
- Directional Tree Felling:
- Where space and safety permit, a tree can be felled
in one piece.
-
- Dismantling/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,
then 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 are used.
