I am planning to start a project that will significantly reduce the number of trees in a local area. Are there any safety measures I should take into account before commencing?

Yes, there are several safety measures that should be taken into account before starting a project that will reduce the number of trees in an area. Firstly, all removal must comply with local regulations and legislation, and any removal must be carefully planned to minimise impacts on surrounding wildlife. All workers involved with the tree removals should be properly trained and experienced in arboriculture work, and safe working protocols should be strictly adhered to at all times. When any tree is removed it is important to make sure that appropriate risk assessments have been conducted ahead of time which outlines safe methods for completing work near or among sensitive roots systems or large dangerous branches. Finally it is important to remember to monitor the site after completion of the removal work; this could include checking soil erosion, tracking vegetation growth etc., as even well planned removals can have consequences for adjacent areas if they are not monitored correctly.

Yes, before starting any project that would involve removing trees, it is important to ensure the safety of those involved and those nearby. You should consider wearing proper safety equipment such as goggles and respirators and make sure ladders are placed correctly on ground which has been tested for appropriate leveling. Additionally, make sure you have permission to remove trees from property owners, consult an arborist to ensure all trees are in fact healthy and not part of a protected species or local habitat, and be mindful of any power lines surrounding the area.
