Occasional rain

A small crew chopped up wood for wood fuel this morning at the nursery: Dave split some of the big stuff with the hydraulic splitter, Peter, Geoff and Jess chopped logs and Michael stacked them in the wood store. The logs will be seasoned and ready for sale in six months or so. The dense and sinewy cherry proved especially difficult to split and chop, but we three-quarters filled an empty bay by the end. It rained steadily most of the morning but was not unpleasant, though our departure time coincided with some heavier stuff, so was prescient.

Just another day

Kayleigh, Julia, Jess, Dianne, and Tanya.

Just another day, nothing of note here, just a mass of women in hi-vis with chainsaws let loose on a golf course. No golfers were harmed.

We were; Dave, Kayleigh, Julia, Tanya, Philip, Jess, Dianne, Stephen, Hap, Baljit, and Paul. Plus Mick and his son with their trailer.

Back at the nursery myself, Geoff and Peter were receiving the logs, and splitting and stacking.

Legal disclaimer, only the qualified and insured were actually using chainsaws.

Thousand helmets of gold

 

Golfers, and Stephen.

The end result.

Today we were at Marsden Golf Club, felling some alder trees that were planted over 20 years ago by the Society, but were now deemed to be shading out one of the tees. We were; myself, Dave, Matthew, Dianne, Kayleigh, Paul, Tanya, Hap, Philip, and Stephen. With very valuable extra help from Mick and his son. And help from the club grounds staff. That was a lot of logs, and hard work.

And we all had our helmets on, when it was appropriate.

Further safety note, the camera lens makes those golfers look closer than they actually were.
