BREAKING POPLAR

You may have seen this broken limb on the black poplar just over the stream crossing near the entrance.  It has snapped and the top is resting on the ground but it is still attached to the main trunk - just about.


This was reported to South Glos Council in August, September, twice in October and again now in November.  You can see that the remaining stem is supported by a rather thin bit of wood at the top of the remaining trunk, in this photo taken in October.


That branch has now also snapped and is resting on other trees towards the path.  Photo below was taken in November.


Please exercise care.  A number of other trees have shed branches over the last couple of months. Best not to walk through woods or under big trees in very windy weather.
