Fire Killed Tree Removal in Kinglake

Posted by admin at 8:51 pm

Did another job in Kinglake earlier today, removing fire killed and damaged trees from a block.

Hazard trees still posing a threat to the rebuilding effort in Kinglake and Marysville are carefully monitored for defects and future failures.

We removed a number of Blackwoods and Mountain Ash which hadn’t survived the fire, and pruned two Mountain Grey Gums.

Joe Harris from ‘into trees‘ assisted in the tree works. The photos were taking from Kinglake Central with the backdrop of Melbourne (DSE had a big burn on today, so it was a bit smokey around the state).

Large Tree Felling Marysville

Posted by admin at 5:26 pm

We’ve been doing some work with the Department of Sustainability and Environment in Marysville, cabling mature Mountain Ash away from a public access area.

We used tree jacks for many of the trees, others we set large cables and winched over with the DSE D4. The object of the works was to make safe a walking track that passed below many of these dead trees. Graeme has decades of experience in mature tree felling, which makes the task of assessing and planning for works a lot easier in the forest environment.
In many of the below photos you will notice most of the trees are felled from boards. These are used in steep terrain where it is difficult to safely work on the tree.

Fire Killed Tree Removal Bunyip State Forest

Posted by admin at 8:05 pm

The four wheel drive tracks throughout Bunyip State Forest were affected by the Bunyip Ridge fire. A large number of hazard trees were assessed alongside the track and were marked for removal.
In October/November 2009, Sherbrooke Tree Service was engaged to open these tracks before the recreational four wheel drive season started.

Aside from the tricky access issues on the four wheel drive tracks, all the works went to plan and the trees were safely removed.

Aside from removing trees already blocking the track, trees that were going to block the track later were also removed

Trees that had asthetic or habitat importance were pruned and left

The intense fire killed many trees. Due to the intense heat very few of these will recover, however the forest is already showing signs of coping

A number of tree’s were vandalised in the Otway Ranges in an area called “Triplet Falls”. Sherbrooke Tree Service was engaged to safely remove the semi-mature mountain ash from the affected area with minimal damage to the under story below. In this short video, Graeme takes the top of the Eucalyptus regnans.
