We took our new DJI Pocket 2 out for another little test this week to see what the camera quality was like. A good chance to meet up with Team 2 in North Baddesley to see their works reducing the height on these road side trees

Its Friday! So before we head out to enjoy our long weekend there's time to take a look at some works we have been conducting for a domestic client in Dibden Purlieu

We've been back out to Barton on Sea, to work on these Macrocarpa. This year we have been clearing hanging branches from over the highway and removing crossing limbs from within the crowns

Remember at the start of the week when it felt like summer? We do and we got to return to Hazlehurst Farm to remove some Ash trees with the assistance of our pig plant

With the return of the rain and preparation for upcoming audits it has been hard to get out of the office this week. Fortunately, Team Leader Josh considers himself a bit of a photographer and has sent through some photos of some Forestry England works

We've been quiet for a while thanks to what is known as audit season at CHTS. Luckily we found time to visit Team 4 and get some photos of their roadside reductions in Dibden Purlieu

In between all of our ongoing audits we found time to visit Team 5 working for Eastleigh Borough Council to catch the start of their tree dismantle

Where have we been? Conducting audit after audit after audit is where! But the hard work has paid off and we have been recertified by the Arboricultural Association and Achilles. We have also successfully completed our ISO migration over to NQA

Time to get back into the swing of things! Its been a crazy start to the year with plenty going on. Here we have Team Leader Josh putting new recruits Jake and Dan through their paces at a domestic clients property in Dibden Purlieu

Team 2 have been out in Exbury Gardens with a tracked MEWP, removing the deadwood from the mature tree stock in preparation of the return of the general public next month

Last week, with the sun out and working locally, we managed to pop out and see Team 3 conducting a crown reduction on a protected Oak tree at Exbury Club

CHTS are delighted to announce we have been awarded the Networks OHL Tree Maintenance contract for the entire New Forest area. We would like to thank SSEN for selecting us and look forward to continuing our working relationship as we have done for over 20 years

Here's a little glimpse at what we have coming up in 2023! Highlights for us will certainly be returning to the New Forest Show to defend win from 2022, and a brand new climbing competition and arb event in association with Exbury Gardens happening in June. Watch this space!!!

Here's a little throwback to some works we did 8 years ago, removing 2 trees from below Corfe Castle. This was the first straight fells I witnessed of this size and I can still remember the thump and energy as it hit the ground. Have a great and safe week out there everybody ✌️

We would like to send a big thank you Winchester Garden Machinery for supplying us with 3 new petrol operated wood chippers. These machines will help us reduce our carbon foot print as a business and keep us on target to meet our emissions standards
