Hey could you gimme a uh... "dressed" from the 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐃 & 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 prompt list... perhaps with an injured Lea?? Or "lean" would also be lovely 💜💜 Thank you you're amazing!!
"Can you stand?"
"Yeah… just give me a minute."
Lea ignores you as you hover over them. They have their eyes closed and their head bowed, taking a few deep breaths as they slowly push themselves onto their hands and knees.
You crouch down in front of them, and they open their eyes just to give you a look.
"I'm fine."
"You don't look fine."
"I said just give me a minute."
You purse your lips as Lea slowly eases back to sit on their heels. They grab at their side, suddenly hunching forward a bit as their face contorts in pain.
"Lea," you move closer, put your hand on their arm to keep them from toppling back over.
You can tell they're hurt bad when they don't push you away.
"Give me a minute," they say again through gritted teeth.
Your hand tightens around their arm, and they bow their head again, but you can see how pale they're getting, their dark eyes losing focus, and you can feel their weight shift as they start leaning into you.
"Okay," you huff, dropping to your knees to catch them and stop you both from falling over into the snow.
You sit for a minute, Lea struggling to stay conscious, and you quickly look over them - and you're only more concerned when you can't see any obvious injury.
"Come on, Lea," you say, lifting their arm up and wrapping it around your shoulders before looping your own arm around their waist. You brace yourself before standing, grunting under their weight and wobbling a bit from your own injuries.
Lea's arm tightens around you, and their head rolls to the side as they peer into your hood.
"Sorry," they mumble.
You don't respond, too preoccupied with putting one foot in front of the other and making sure neither of you collapse.
Thankfully, the horses aren't far, and you whistle loud through the trees, calling both of them over, trotting through the snow and peering at you curiously.
You approach Gambit cautiously, though with Lea's arm slung over your shoulders he doesn't try to bite at you, and you're able to get to Lea's potion belt before he can change his mind. You and Lea both stagger over to the nearest tree, and you do your best to ease them back to the ground, dropping hard onto your knees beside them.
"Which one is it?" you ask, pulling various potions out of their little leather pouches.
Lea feebly points one out for you.
This will keep them together at least until you can get to a surgeon or a healer. You trust their potion more than yourself, especially with what you can only assume is an internal injury.
You sidle up close next to them, roughly taking the back of their head in your hand while you pull the bottle's cork free with your teeth. You lean them back, lift the potion to their lips and help them drink.
Lea splutters a bit, and you pull back, tilting their head forward as they cough painfully.
Your hand stays at the nape of their neck, and you find yourself hesitating to let go, your thumb drawing slow circles through their hair, damp with sweat and snow.
They close their eyes at the touch, their frantic breathing slowing a bit as the potion takes effect, and one of their hands blindly reaches out to grab a fistful of your shirt, white-knuckling as Lea pulls you close.
"Alright?" you ask gently. They open their eyes, and you can still see the pain there, in their furrowed brow, but they nod before tucking their face against your shoulder, their breath hot on your throat.
Your thumb keeps drawing circles.
You set the potion aside, propping the bottle up in the snow before reaching up to wipe at Lea's mouth. Their brow furrows even more as you wipe the spilled potion from their chin, but they don't pull away, just staring at you with those dark eyes.
Your hand shakes slightly from the leftover adrenaline. (That's what you tell yourself, anyways.)
But Lea suddenly lets go of your shirt, sitting up and grabbing at your wrist, their fingers cold and tight as they pull your hand back. They say your name, a low whisper that ghosts over your knuckles - then they let go and slap your other hand off of them, their eyes flashing before they turn away from you and grab at the nearby tree to pull themself up onto their feet.
You let them stand, staying on the ground for a few more seconds as you recork the potion bottle and stow it back in their belt, along with all the others you pulled out. You avoid their gaze as you help them climb up onto Gambit, and neither of you say anything as you start off through the trees and back to town.
#thank you! 💕#classic hot and cold lea lol#lea chen#snippets#ask#the-gilded#oh yeah sorry i did lean + injured lea so literally not waht you asked for but mdfkjsfks

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY. How two bike crashes led to a Netflix Documentary.

3 July 2014, approximately 5.30pm in Emsworth, Hampshire I was cycling along the A27 with 2 friends. We were training for a charity bike ride from London to Paris, this was our final ride before the event. We'd done a 70 mile ride and were looking forward to a beer.
I was traveling at about 22mph, suddenly a car turned in front of me and I plowed straight into its passenger door and smashed the window. I lay there in shock unaware of my broken ribs, punctured lung and shattered collarbone but also unaware of how this moment was going to impact my life.
The surgeon said I was lucky to be alive, in that split second I’d managed to jump the bike to a slight angle so my right side took all the impact and not my chest. Five days later with some screws and metal plates holding my collar bone together I left the hospital. I was unable to move my arm for 3 months as they were worried the gaps between the pieces of bone would not join.
I couldn’t work, I couldn't exercise, I became frustrated, depressed, annoyed and angry. Sitting on the sofa watching endless television was so boring, beer o’clock went from 6pm to 5.30pm to 5pm to 4.30pm…you get the picture.
Late in the previous year I had received an email from Elina Manninen who was a photographer but also the sister of Johanna Nordblad the world champion Freediver under ice. She had seen some photos I'd done for Red Bull magazine of Guillaume Nery, the world's deepest freediver. Elina wondered if I would be interested in photographing her sister but at the time my state of mind was not right, and anyway, I couldn’t work.
Fast forward 18 months and I began thinking about the email again. All my life I had wanted to make a short film, and I wondered if Johanna under the ice could be it. I was about to get a small insurance payment for the crash so I thought maybe I could turn the negativity of the accident into something positive. I contacted Elina and asked for more information about Johanna.
She told me Johanna got into ice diving after a bad accident on a bicycle which badly fractured her leg. Three years later the nerve pain was still so bad they discussed amputation. The last resort was cold water treatment which she fully embraced. The nerve pain went but the cold water was addictive and this began her journey under the ice.
Johanna's story was compelling but I was also intrigued how our respective accidents had brought us together. Maybe it was fate.
On the 19th January 2016 I flew to Helsinki to meet the sisters and go to the lake. At arrivals there stood two crazy Finnish women in warm clothes and bobble hats waiting for me. Next I found myself in an old green transit van sat between these two virtual strangers on my way to the lake two hours outside of Helsinki. The windscreen wipers didn’t work and there was no heater. As we got closer to the lake it got so cold the INSIDE of the windscreen started to ice freeze!
Then the most incredible moment.
We stopped and all I could see was white snow, it seemed to go on forever. For some reason it didn’t click with me that this was the lake, my brain was telling me it was a field as it was surrounded by trees. Then the penny dropped, this was the snow on top of the ice below. It was epic. We got out of the green van and the silence was incredible. All we could hear were ourselves, our breath, our clothes rubbing, the crunch of the snow.
Johanna opened the van doors and pulled out the sled and the ice saw and said follow me. We walked onto the snowy lake, my feet went down deep onto the hard ice below. She then started drilling three holes with a huge ice cork screw in the 40 cm ice. Using the ice saw she cut from one hole to another and pushed the ice down to displace it. For the first time I saw the clear cold water below in this perfect triangular hole.
Unbeknown to me she had a dry suit in the van and asked if I wanted to go under the ice. It was actually beginning to get dark but I thought well I can’t back out now! So on went the dry suit, she attached a torch to my head and a rope around my wrist so she could pull me out if necessary. (photos below)
So here I am holding my breath under 40 cm of ice with two strange women and a rope around my wrist for safety!
I wasn't using scuba tanks. I was just holding my breath but what I saw under there was incredible, I knew I had to make the film.
When I got out the air temperature was so low the water on my suit began to freeze so the girls got me to the van and wrestled me out of the suit before it totally froze solid.
I flew back to London the next day, my head full of ideas and inspiration. I wanted to do this properly so I assigned myself a ‘huge’ budget of 5k! (Don’t tell my wife but it ended up closer to 16k)
I met with Jonathan Milward, an amazing storyboard artist and we created the film shot by shot. His drawings were so accurate to my vision and for the first time I could see exactly what it would look like.
Elina and Johanna had a friend who is an underwater cinematographer, Teemu Liakka. He agreed to shoot it for me and we also had a drone and an underwater safety team. How did I possibly think I could do this for 5k!
Anybody who knows me knows if I make up my mind then that’s that. The costs were rising but so was my excitement to start filming.
5th March 2016 and we are all staying in a house together in a snowy wilderness.. The next morning we made our way to the lake to set up for the first underwater day. I had booked three days in for diving shots and another for drone. We had to hire a mobile sauna so Johanna could warm up between dives. She was incredible, so natural in the water. She wanted her movement to be perfect so she kept repeating things under the ice before she was happy. She would come up between takes and her lips were blue but she kept going.
On the final day the lake looked incredible. I remember the drones first flight as it came over the trees and I knew this was going to be a special morning. Johanna had to walk miles with her sled as we had to keep her in snow without her own footsteps.
I then flew back to London with the material and my friend Joe Walton and I started the edit. Another friend Howie Saunders composed the music and Digital Light did the grade.
Then it just sat there. I really didn’t know what to do with it. I was busy being a photographer, I’d enjoyed the whole process but had no idea what to do with the film. Then I discovered an online film sharing site called Nowness. They loved the film and on 1 September 2016 it went online. It quickly got some interest with great reviews and I began getting enquiries from agents to represent me as a director. I wasn’t a director, I had made one film for fun but who was I to argue! I signed with a great production company called Archers Mark.
Then National Geographic contacted me and wanted to use my film for their Directors Showcase. The last I heard it had passed 80 million views.
This is now where I have to pinch myself. In 2019 we had a discussion with Netflix about expanding the film to tell a wider story of Johanna and cover her attempt to beat not only her own world record but the mens too. Steve Jamison from Archers Mark and I went and shot a teaser for them in Finland with some interviews and some ice footage.Elina’s role quickly became pivotal to the story and so things began to develop. We put an edit together and presented it and they loved it.
So here I was directing a Netflix original documentary all because I’d used some money from a bike accident to make a film for fun. It was a dream come true.
We started filming in March 2020 and thought it would be out later that year. While we were filming with a full crew in Northern Finland the news started coming through about Covid. Countries were threatening to shut borders so we had to abandon and return home. I’ll never forget the empty airport in Helsinki and the empty plane with just a handful of passengers.
To be honest during that time I never thought the film would get finished. In my head my film was hanging by a thread. Would Netflix want us to go back? Would they find the money to go again? They were dark days anyway so this uncertainty didn’t help. Here I was back on the sofa watching the TV in limbo, just like back in 2014.
A year to the day we had fled Finland we flew back. God knows how but somehow our Executive Producer Jo-Jo Ellison had managed to get us there during another lockdown and with special permissions and covid protocols we were able to try again.
On May 3rd 2022 the film Hold Your Breath - The Ice Dive finally came out. I'll say no more than that but if you watch it you'll see it wasn't easy.
I'd like to thank Johanna and Elina and our amazing crew for everything they did to make this happen. It’s a beautiful film about two sisters trying to do something that no human has ever done. It's been emotional at times and there have been tears but it's been the best thing professionally I've ever done.
I wonder if I should go and knock on the door of the guy who knocked me off my bike and thank him!

First time I had met Johanna, January 2016

What am I doing?!

No pressure.

How a Top-Notch Arborist Can Help You in 8 Different Ways!
Being proactive and looking after your trees has many, many benefits. Multiple too is the types of damage that can be caused if your trees remain unchecked and their care neglected. If you don't know much about tree care, this article will cover a range of topics, explaining some of the different ways arborists can help you with your trees. The topics include tree identification, diagnosing and treating diseases, pest control for trees to help sustain healthy plant life.

To figure out how arborist services can help your property in a variety of ways read on!
8 Benefits of Hiring an Arborist
1. Tree Identification
This is one of the first challenges that you might face. You need to know and identify the different types of trees in your garden. If this is overwhelming then you can always just call an arborist in Cork or Kerry. Arborists are tree experts, and will be able to help you identify which type of tree is in your yard. A trained professional will also be able to guide you on how to proceed with proper care guidelines for each type of tree identified. While identifying the different varieties of trees on your property, sounds like a basic task, it really is important! Trees can grow in all sizes and shapes, so it is important to know how they will scale up as they mature with time.
2. Diagnosing
Once you have identified the type of tree and its location, it is time to start asking questions about its general health and condition. Ask if you should prune it and how often. Find out about the pests that have been identified in the area. Also, whether any necessary treatments have been rendered to stop or prevent any further infestation on your property. If you notice dead branches or leaves, ask your arborist what might be causing it and how can you stop it. The last thing that you woul like to see is unnecessary extra expenses coming out of your pocket, just because of negligent care. If a tree requires urgent attention then call an arborist! It is best to call tree surgeons trained in arboricultural consultancy, ISA certified preferably. Arboricultural consultants will be able to carry to visual tree assessments that correctly diagnose the ailments of your tree. A correct diagnosis, leads to appropriate responsive care. Start right, end right- don’t just hack your trees and hope for the best.
3. Precautions
Your arborist will be able to take precautionary measures that will apprehend tree-related diseases. For example, they may prune the damaged or dying branches and remove dead wood in the canopy. A professional arborist will know what measures one should take to ensure that your tree remains healthy, and secure its continued health for as long as possible. More often than not, neglected trees can harbor pest infestations. Damage to a tree is cumulative- a bad pruning wound can lead to a large-scale pest infestation, which will cause your tree to become structurally unstable and die. Unstable trees can obviously cause damage to your property in the event of extreme weather conditions. It is best to protect your property and call an arborist, if you are worried about your trees.
4. Pest Control
Pests that can bring about a lot of damage to your tree include black ants, termites, chewing insects and wood-boring insects. These insects could be very small in size so you won't be able to notice them until they have caused a lot of damage to your tree. A professional arborist in Kerry or Cork will know exactly how to treat the trees. And also, how much you need to spend for their treatment and maintenance.
5. Insect Management
An arborist will conduct regular assessments of your trees to check whether they have become infested with any type of insect. The difference between pest management and insect management is that the latter deals with invertebrates like butterflies, caterpillars, moths, and snails. Insects are mostly larger in size than pests; but can still cause extensive damage to your trees. Your arborist may advise you to use insect management tools, such as snail traps, as simple tools like this can be a good, undamaging method by which to manage insects.
6. Tree Maintenance
A professional will also be able to offer tips on how you can increase the growth rate of your plants. Basic advice, such as ensuring the correct amount of water is provided, the correct amount and type of fertilizers are applied to your soil. You will have to continue tending to your trees for as long as you have them in your backyard. It is a good idea to keep track of these important things that need regular attention to keep them alive and healthy.
7. Tree Planting
You and your family will always enjoy the services of an experienced arborist, especially when it comes to tree planting. There are certain precautions that you should take when tree planting. It is not simply a decision as to ‘where and what’. A tree must be compatible with its surroundings. When it comes to deciding, it is wise to find out your soil type. Some trees like clay soils, some sand, some are hardy and will grow in anything. It is important that you know your soil, so then you can choose the right trees. A tree planted properly, in the right position, will be a healthy tree. It will be strong enough to avoid diseases and pretty much take care of themselves.
8. Tree Removal
When it comes to tree removal. It is best that you hire an experienced and qualified person for tree removal in Kerry and Cork. Someone who can help you assess the state of your trees and their health. Someone who can tell you if a tree really needs to be removed, or whether you can actually save it. If the tree does need removing, then a certified arborist will be able to do a proper, clean, safe and efficient job of removing them. Better to remove a dead tree than to shoulder the risk and expense associated with a fallen tree – especially an unstable tree that is neighbouring your property.
Heritage Tree Care Ltd. is one of the trustworthy arboricultural companies in Cork and Kerry. It is ISA Certified, the highest certification for tree-care professionals. It is qualified to carry out arboricultural consultancy services, including tree risk & safety surveys, and planning and development surveys. Heritage Tree Care Ltd. have the knowledge, experience, and skill set to handle any of your tree-related problems, safely and efficiently, which will inevitably help you save time and money. You will get all the professional advice you need from the Heritage team, as quite simply, Heritage Tree Care knows what they are doing. Devastated that the last tree surgeons you employed, hacked your trees and made them unsightly? Well don’t worry, Heritage have 20 years of skill, working internationally and within Ireland. Years of highly technical training, that means they will never ever hack your trees. You can rely on them for a customized solution for every problem that you have, depending on what type of tree is being treated.

Was just wondering- what would Lavinia and Margaret think of each other?
Major La Fille spoilers below - but only really obvious ones.
Margaret was just finishing dusting the bottom shelves of her cabinets when the bell over the door rang, and a pair of fashionably low shoes slipped into the room with the sweep of a silk skirt. She straightened her cap and rose from behind the counter, surprised to see an unfamiliar face - a woman, probably her own age, dressed in the very height of fashion, auburn curls resplendent beneath a very handsomely trimmed bonnet.
“You must be Mrs. Munro,” the stranger said, reticule in hand. “I met your husband at the Danburys’ the other night and mentioned I might be in need of a preparation, while I was in town. He absolutely insisted I come and see you. He said you were the best.” Her eye glanced over the apothecary’s jars in their gleaming rows, the little brass scale on the counter with its appropriate weights.
“My husband is a little biased in his recommendations,” Margaret said with a smile. “Have you a receipt, for your preparation? I can mix it for you here, if you’ve a note of the proportions.”
“Thank you, that’s most kind - but I’d prefer to mix it myself at home,” she said, taking a good, long look at the back wall of the shop, the willow-ware jars all labeled in Margaret’s neat, steady hand. “Three ounces of chaste-tree, and two of primrose, and…oh, three or four of rosemary. And have you any marigolds dried? I’ve need of three or four ounces, and an ounce of sweet oil - a wash for my hair.”
Margaret nodded, pulling down jars and beginning the process of weighing and measuring, pouring the herbs into paper packets with an expert hand, the oil into a little jar with a corked stopper. She was thinking of what William had said about the Danburys’ party, about who had been there - Judge Whipple, and Mr. and Mrs. Hander, and a woman staying with Mr. Hancock; her husband’s a…a banker, yes, that was her. We talked about Scotland. Montrose, her name was. Lavinia Montrose.
Yes, this was she - hair like flames and eyes a man could drown in. He’d had had a distant look in his eye when he’d said the name. William Munro, she admonished him, and he remembered himself, and kissed her, and that had been an end to it.
But it wasn’t the first time she’d heard the name. “You’re the woman they call the Tigress,” Margaret realized, putting two and two together as she placed the jar on the counter and surveyed her customer with an interested eye.
The name made her client pause. “There aren’t too many people on this side of the ocean who know that name,” the Lady said with a smile. “May I ask how you came to know it?”
Margaret held back a smile, remembering sun-warmed sheets and a man reading naked in bed, explaining to her, when he came across a particular name in the pages of an old copy of Mr. Rivington’s Gazette, why he should warn Washington that Lady L —M— was in New York. A woman too beautiful to be ignored, he’d called her then. Trop Dangereuse. She remembered the shape of his lips, the way his native language dripped off his lips. Why is she dangerous? She makes men give up their secrets. How, she’d asked, smirking at her own daring as Gilbert laid the paper aside and let her know in no uncertain terms the answer.
“A freind,” she said vaguely. The Lady’s lip curled, intrigued by the challenge.
“Well, then your freind was either a British officer or a foreign one,” she judged cannily. “There were plenty of girls in Philadelphia and New York willing enough to trade sides for a handsome red coat, but I’m sure they didn’t marry Continental surgeons after the war… so it would have to be one of the Army’s allies from abroad, then.”
Her eye fell on several framed prints hanging on the back wall of the apothecary, a profile of General Washington, hand-tinted to give a more life-like effect, one of the engravings of the Congress that everyone seemed to be printing now - and a third, small image, a little foxed in its frame. “Is your husband a devotee of the French?” she asked, stepping a little closer to admire the man in the uniform of the Garde Nationale.
“My husband treated the Marquis at Brandywine,” Margaret said, entirely truthful. “He is a great admirer of his work in France.” She didn’t say how much her heart ached when he’d hung the picture, how much she trembled when he would tell people at parties that his wife had nursed the Marquis de Lafayette through his famous wound, a feat that had doubtless moved his heart towards aiding the American cause as a stunning example of the American womanhood such aid would save.
“The Marquis has done some amazing things,” Lavinia conceded. “I met him as a much younger man at Versailles. Tall, even then. And that hair! The Queen made fun of him for his hair. Thankfully his fame brought it back into fashion,” she said with a smile, touching her own auburn locks with a rueful smile.
At that very moment the curtain from the back room flashed open, and an imp of seven ran through it, hair flying in all directions. “Mama-mama-mama, can I -”
“Gilbert Munro, you know better than to interrupt,” Margaret nearly shouted without thinking. Her son stopped, knowing that he was, in fact, in the wrong, and looked down at his shoes repentantly. He disappeared into the back room much slower than when he came, and she took a moment to compose herself, before realizing that her customer was smiling again.
“Your son?” Lavinia asked. “What an excellent name. Gilbert.” She said it in the French manner, Jee-bear, and Margaret could not help but stare. “Pretty hair - he must get it from his father.” Her eyes were full of mischief now, the secret almost out. Margaret’s hair was still dark beneath her cap, but she had surely noticed, last night at the Danburys’, that William Munro’s hair was black as coal- and her eldest’s son’s curls as coppery as a kettle. “I seem to remember someone telling me you were a nurse yourself, Mrs. Munro. Was that how you met your husband? Treating men at Brandywine?”
Margaret remained silent, and Lavinia smirked. Judge me, if you like, Lady Lavinia. I didn’t go to bed with him for any coin you’d recognize. “It was three ounces of the marigold that you wanted, wasn’t it?” Margaret said resolutely, returning to the jar. “And motherwort, as well?” She fixed Lavinia with a cold calm of her own. Two can play at liars dice, Lady Lavinia, and I know when two and two add to five. Chaste-tree and evening primrose, and marigold for her hair - I wasn’t with the army for six years to not come out knowing what herbs a woman takes to get rid of a child. She’ll want motherwort, if she wants it done quickly.
“I’m not sure - does it work?” The meaning behind her words was clear.
“When you take it,” Margaret replied evenly. Go on, she silently dared her. Ask me why I didn’t.
But Lavinia only smiled. “Excellent. I’ve a meeting in New York next week - some business of my husband’s. I should hate to leave this to the vagaries of the tradesmen there. I’d much rather leave my custom with a woman who knows her business.” She opened her purse and laid a single coin on the counter - a gold guinea, more money than Margaret was likely to see in a whole day. More than triple the cost of the herbs - a bribe, then? Such mortal drugs I have - but Mantua’s law is death to he that utters them.
“A pleasure to serve you, madam,” Margaret Munro said shamelessly, slipping the guinea inside her pocket.
The Lady nodded, took her purchases and left. Margaret watched her through the window, giving one of her famous smiles to a pair of men outside, their appreciative looks as she passed on plain view through the glass. I wonder what quarry she’s hunting in New York, Margaret thought to herself. Senators, perhaps? Gilbert said she liked men with power.
“I’m sorry I interrupted, Mama.” Her son crept penitently inside the shop again, lingering at her elbow with a downcast eye, waiting for her to make everything right again. Oh, heaven save her from her boys and their long, lonesome looks! He was learning that one from William, who seemed to know just how to look at her from underneath his lashes to make her relent.
“You really must learn to wait, Gilbert,” Margaret said, wrapping an arm around him so she could press him close and kiss the top of his head, trying not to let a tear tickle her eye. Your father was impatient, too.
–
Oh my GOODNESS THIS WAS SO INTERESTING TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT.
So I think that ultimately both of these women would respect each other, in a kind of grudging way. Margaret would have admired Lavinia’s daring when she first learned about her from Gilbert - Lavinia’s free nature would, I think, have been something she’d be a little jealous of. As someone who knows far too well how much marriage can be a sham and how powerless it can leave women, Lavinia’s very conscious that her actions can be seen as hurtful, and does her best, when she can, to support other women who don’t have the same privileges of money and position that she does. She admires women who go out and take what they want, as Margaret will eventually do in La Fille - and she very much admires women who can make something of themselves - in Margaret’s case, a successful apothecary business to supplement her husband’s work as a physician. (Yes, she does marry William Munro, because I am a predictable ass, and Margaret is first and foremost a canny woman who knows a good deal when she sees one. It isn’t every man who gives you smuggled lemons, after all, even if he can count the months between a wedding and a baby.)

Tree felling is the process of cutting down trees for various reasons, such as land and timber management, landscaping projects, or firewood. In Cork, a qualified contractor should be hired to ensure that all tree felling procedures are done safely and responsibly. They should assess the area surrounding the tree before any work is carried out to ensure it will not cause damage or disruption nearby and also follow best forestry practices when removing branches from around power lines, buildings etc. The logs can then be used alongside careful replanting in order to replenish woodlands or harvested appropriately according to local regulations.
