Why not turn a negative experience into a positive?
A neighbour decided to remove some significant limbs from an Angophora tree which is home to many passing birds. In this case, the rule of 10% lopping was the strict arrangement from the tree owner (although the tree surgeons tried pushing for 20%). The tree owner also specified that they have the mulch that was produced from the limbs which is being used on a new native garden bed....designed to attract more wildlife.
