"Save our forests - don't sell them off to the highest bidder"

The government is planning a massive sell off of our national forests. They could be auctioned and fenced off, run down, logged or turned into golf courses and holiday villages. 

We can't let that happen. We need to stop these plans. National treasures like the The Forest of Dean, Sherwood Forest and The New Forest could be sold off. Once they are gone, they will be lost forever. 

A huge petition will force the government to rethink its plans. If we can prove how strongly the public are against this, they will have to back down. Please sign the petition now.

Magnolia x soulangeana - Crown reduction, crown lift and thinning

What usually makes this tree stand out is it's 'fiery' canopy of uneven shoots and branches. This one however, close to it's peak in growth had been encouraged to adopt a more lollipop appearence.

The client has been consistently pruning the tree but wanted it trimmed it in a way that would slow its growth whilst reducing it in size and retaining its shape.

We removed the longest and thickest spreading branches from the canopy as well as the water shoots helped achieve a balance between 'fiery' and the 'lollipop' shape the client was keen on.
