  • 5 years ago
Forget Santa -- this looks more like a job for Special Branch. Forestry chiefs are going to tree-mendous lengths to get Britain ready for Christmas -- after drafting in a HELICOPTER to airlift Christmas conifers from a dense forest. Over 100 trees were removed by chopper from Kielder forest in Thetford, Northumberland, as the location is too remote to be accessed by tractor or crane.The Sikta Spruce trees, will be sent out to city and town centres across the UK - including London and Edinburgh. The helicopter allows the company to harvest the same amount of trees in a day that would normally take two weeks to remove by tractor. The trees heading to St Paul's Cathedral in London and 1000 other city and towns across the country.
