‼️🌳 Tree Safety Notice – Summer Branch Drop 🌳‼️

During warm, calm weather, large branches can occasionally fall from mature trees without warning. This natural and rare phenomenon is known as Summer (or Sudden) Branch Drop.
It is most likely during hot, dry periods followed by rain, when trees are under stress, even though they may appear healthy.

✅ How to stay safe

• Avoid sitting, gathering, or placing equipment directly beneath large overhanging branches
• Take extra care during hot, still weather or shortly after rainfall
• Be aware of your surroundings and move away if you hear cracking or see movement above

ℹ️ Please remember

The risk is very low, and trees are a valuable part of the landscape, providing shade and wellbeing benefits.
