The trees of Salt Ash

Large branches above farming activity need consideration of animal shelter, fences and regularly used areas.

A tree may provide useful shelter while having branches above an occupied area; the assessment needs to consider animal movement, fencing and what shelter will remain if vegetation is changed.

A retention recommendation can still include specific maintenance or monitoring. Keeping a large tree does not mean ignoring observed changes, and removal is not the only possible response to every concern.
