## Description
The contractor is required to carry out safe felling and removal of all spray marked trees in the project area, the Humble Glades. This is the equivalent of approximately 80 medium-size trees, approximately 40m3 of timber, although the actual number of trees may be higher. There are a small number of Turkey Oak and Pine that are included in the felling contract but 90% of the trees are Holm Oak. The trees need to be safely felled and then processed. The majority of the timber felled needs to be burnt on site following instructions from Natural England concerning location and number of firesites. The cut stumps of all felled trees need to be treated with a Glyphosate based herbicide to prevent re-growth.
The Axmouth to Lyme Regis Undercliffs NNR is a remote and wild coastal landslip. The worksite is located a 20-30 minute walk from the nearest vehicle access. The terrain across the NNR includes steep, uneven and sometimes difficult ground. The worksite is similar in terrain, on uneven, challenging and sometimes steep ground.
Contractors will be required to hold and submit relevant chainsaw, herbicide and first aid certification, including felling and processing of medium-size trees (380mm to 760mm / up to twice bar length). Contractors must wear all relevant PPE at all times. No lone working at any time. The contractor must hold and submit a copy of their public liability insurance.
It is a requirement that contractors undertake a site visit prior to submitting a tender or quote unless they are already familiar with the site. This can be arranged with Natural England please contact tom.sunderland@naturalengland.org.uk .
A thorough Risk Assessment will need to be drawn up and agreed with Natural England before any work starts.
