ACTIVITIES: Roy went through some interesting pruning and cutting techniques. Firstly he showed us how to do a 3 way cut on some pine tree branches (see photo). Next we did some corrective prunning on eucylptus trees. The idea was to take the weight off some of the branches so the canopy would rise up a little. This would then make it easier of people to walk under the trees without walking into over hanging leaves and branches (see photo).
TOOLS: secateurs
PPE: Long sleeves, long pants, gloves.
OH&S: Branches poking eyes, secateurs.
