Why choose arboriculture?

[Khriss]

Pity that it's still seen as a Thicko's job for non academics, cos it certainly is not.  A lot of blokes I have known , left school with nowt and actually -after a few years, developed far better in arb than their uni mates who are now working in Greggs. K

But free fire wood is no match for free pasties

[Rough Hewn]

In brief:
I lived in a plasterboard box,
Went to work in a bigger box.
Hated every day.
Woke up dreading another day in the office.
Lived amongst a million other boxes.
Had to get out.

Now everyday I wake up curious to what find out what I'm cutting today.
Trees and nature are my office.
I still live in a box,
But one day I'll live in the woods.

I sleep in the woods quite often. Damp, mozzies, mice nibbling your gear, noises at night but yes, great fun

You won’t get planing permission though
