The Wolfson Tree Management Centre: An Update
Work is currently underway on what will become the new Wolfson Tree Management Centre. The new facility will provide all that Westonbirt’s expert tree team needs to manage the tree collection.
Over the last few weeks the new yard and machinery store have started to take shape, helped by several loads of stone and concrete.
This is a photo taken from the edge of the new yard; you can clearly see the footprint of the new machinery store which is 20 x 30 metres.
Both end sections of the new machinery store have been concreted to their finished floor level. You can see the temporary timber shuttering in these photos. The metal hoops to the left of the picture will be used to support the timber columns and will secure the timber frame to the foundations.
Due to the large area and winter weather, the base will be poured in sections. Fingers crossed we don’t have a cold snap!
