Planning the OneOak felling
We held a meeting at the OneOak tree today. Foresters Paul Orsi and Nick Baimbridge of Blenheim Estate met with Sylva to discuss everything that needs to be done. From how the tree will be felled, to where we will site the toilets for our guests who will come to watch the tree felling at the public launch of the OneOak project.
This time of year the bluebells, that were so beautiful when we first found the tree, are long gone and the bracken is waist high. We met to discuss how we should best fell the tree from a forestry point of view. Also, because we hope many guests will come to watch the tree being felled, we need to start planning carefully so that everyone will be able to see the tree yet be safe!
There is a family connection at Bladon school … so we can get information straight from the horses mouth.
On Tuesday we went to Blenheim to see the carved wooden horse jumps. we saw a teddy bear,fish, ducks, pheasants, a wolf and a dog. we drew them
Good to hear of family connections at Bladon School. I look forward to meeting you all sometime soon when you visit the tree.
