Well that Hazel along the stream is a lot bigger and heftier than it looks on the photo. I only have a bow-saw, and the engineering is tricky! Once you are in among the Hazels, there are trees can't be got at, or they wouldn't fall....etc (they would get trapped & tangled up in others which always blocks everything) ....or the bow-saw won't fit. Plus a Hazel close on 10" diameter is one hulking great heavy whopper to shift out of the stream or wherever it decides to go. Mind you - I might have a change of mind one day and attempt to do interesting things with a block-and-tackle....
My philosophy is that few things are impossible. My Dad was an engineer and taught me that. Nothing is ever without a solution. It's just whether you will accept the solution -or not.
My solution is a chain saw, and I am not a dab-hand with one! (OUCH!) ....let's not even GO THERE! HAHA
You know what, Cibach? That sort of untended wild garden is the ideal one for many species of birds and animals. When things get a bit too 'twee' it can push out some creatures who would normally live there or forage there.
