Wildlife advice
Mature trees often support a variety of wildlife - hollows or crevices, for example, provide important natural sites for many protected species.
You should consider the potential for your tree to support protected species, such as nesting birds and bats, before carrying out any works and consult a competent ecological professional if you are unsure.
