Tree Protection Measures

Canopy Clearance Pruning

Pruning must be completed prior to constructing Grand Fir 494 tree protection fence.
CJF recommends 2.5m canopy lift from current lowest branch.
Black hawthorn #493 prunings.
Grand fir #494 CJF advises whole tree safety and maintenance prune.
All pruning to be completed by an ISA certified arborist.

Tree Protection Fencing (TPF)

Provide maximum and approved aeration of selected tree service contractor.
No entry into fenced protection zone (TPF).
No loading in-out.
Max pruning height: 50% of tree height.
Post brightly coloured "Tree Protection Zone" signs: permission.
Remove debris from project area.
Site supervisor must ensure fence remains in place.
Construct rain run off with well braced 1.2m (4') wood frame / snow fence panel tree protection fence.
Maintain tree protection fence in good functioning condition until landscape changes.
Fencing must be erected prior to any site work.
Construction materials / waste / concrete outwash must not be placed against / stored within protection zones.
TPF to be installed at edge of the critical root zone (CRZ) as identified.

Temporary Machine / Materials Access

Place temporary bridge over critical root zone where access is required.
Temporary wood chip path / 80mm wood chips over woven geotextile.
Access for low-pressure track machines only inside root protection zone.

Soil Compaction Protection

Use wood chip mulch layer (10-15cm) between access slopes and bottom north property line path.
Do not allow excavator to climb/descend slope over non-woven geotextile (Texel 350 or similar product).

Excavation

In the following locations hand excavation with hand:
- All proposed work within the root zone of Douglas-fir 491.
- Proposed gabion wall construction on west side of property.
- 4m south / west of Douglas-fir 491 35cm surface holding roots 1, 2.
- Root pruning:
- Flush prune exposed roots >2.5cm diameter severed or damaged beyond reasonable repair.
