We are now fully immersed in our Autumn works with the team undertaking the annual tree inspections. We ensure to the best of our ability that all the trees along paths, roads and boundaries are safe and healthy and will only do work to trees if they are dead, dying or dangerous. So if you see Ranger Joel (a fully qualified tree inspector) looking up and around the trees on National Trust land you now know that he is completing the tree inspections.
