VETree Videos:
Practical management of veteran trees
These videos were produced by the Ancient Tree Forum and other partners in the VETree project to encourage good practice in the management of ancient and other veteran trees. David Lonsdale from the Ancient Tree Forum has been an external adviser on the content of all these videos. The titles on practical management cover the following topics (view below):
- Techniques for crown reducing a veteran tree
- Halo clearance for veteran trees
- The importance of the land around a veteran tree
- Common sense risk management of veteran trees
- Creation of decaying wood habitats
- Management of veteran fruit trees
- Management of veteran pollards still in a regular cycle of cutting
There are also two lectures by David Lonsdale:
- What to assess in trees before considering management options
- Aging processes in trees, with special reference to beech and oak
