Resident manager at the Centre, Geoff Lockwood, said Ann from Brands Tree-felling contacted kindly offered to cut down the tree for free.
“In spite of its size, over 20m tall, and the fact that it was covered with spiky thorns, a team from Brands Tree-felling arrived on 30 March and safely and successfully brought down the tree in sections – this without any damage to the surrounding trees and shrubs or infrastructure. It was a thoroughly professional job,” he said.
He acknowledged that the centre appreciated the community support.
