The Nicholsons forestry team are currently planting specimen trees around a new lake for one of our clients. Included in the contract was the planting of some very large Scots pines on an island in the lake and this required a mini-digger to operate on the island. The civil engineering contractor who has also been working on the site had told us that they would build a temporary bridge to the island to allow us access, but we'd rather been expecting something a little more substantial than this. What's more, the bridge had been set up to take a digger that was somewhat larger than ours.
However, in the usual Nicholsons' way we used brains and quite a bit of brute force to realign the steel joists, got the digger onto the island, planted the trees, and got off the island again without anyone (or anything) getting wet! We're still on site planting more trees around the lake and in an avenue, and the client is very pleased with the end results.
