00:00 This is an evergreen oak which doesn't need pollarding and indeed the proposition at the
00:09 moment by the management is to bring it down to 16 metres which would be down to the height
00:18 of the house on the left. This would be something like a 25 to 30% reduction and is quite likely
00:29 to kill it. It's also the home of myriads of birds with nests in various places and
00:38 they would become homeless which is itself a destruction against nature.
