What a job. 💪🌲🏉
After two weeks of hard work, one of the biggest projects Bark and Branch has ever undertaken is now complete at Salcombe Rugby Club.
18 large Macrocarpa trees have been carefully climbed and reduced due to increasing safety concerns for both the rugby pitch and the neighbouring properties. Every piece of timber was handled with care, and rather than removing the trees entirely, the remaining stems have been retained as valuable habitat poles that will provide homes for birds, bats, insects and other wildlife for many years to come.
This project has pushed us to our limits at times. Long days, plenty of challenges, and a huge amount of teamwork from everyone involved. I couldn’t be prouder of the lads for the effort, professionalism and determination they have shown throughout.
The weather certainly hasn’t made things easy either. We’ve battled through high winds, heavy rain and some challenging conditions to get the project completed safely and professionally.
On a personal level, this one means a lot. 🦀
Thank you to Salcombe Rugby Club for putting their trust in us, and thank you to everyone who has supported Bark and Branch on our journey.
Although the main works are now complete, you may still see us around the club over the next few days carrying out final tidy-up works, removing remaining material and making sure everything is left neat and tidy.
Here’s to the next challenge. 🌳
A massive thank you to Nicholas Rowell Haulage, Rt Farm & Industrial Buildings Limited and TP Tree Works we couldn’t have done it without you all.
