Yarner Woods and the Dartmoor Tramway

Yarner Woods forms part of the East Dartmoor Woods and Heath National Nature Reserve. We have had many years of involvement here undertaking hazard assessment of trees within certain critical areas and carrying out sensitive arboricultural works to trees within thins internationally important woodland.

Our latest work has involved the pruning of trees around a portion of the Haytor granite tramway that runs through the top of Yarner Woods. An ancient beech avenue here required remedial works to ensure that the risk posed by the trees to users of the track was minimal whilst preserving all the habitat and landscape values of the trees in this beautiful and historic part of Dartmoor.
