[Rhys Conway]

Hi to everyone reading this post, I'm in need of some advice guys as im going on the course CS 30 and 31 in January at Myerscough college, but in the mean time i need to get hold of books on Tree surgery and Arbriculture, if any of you could tell me the best books for someone with no knowlege in this field at all i would be truely gratefull, there are so many out there and there not cheap so the best ones for someone just starting out, Also guys if possible i need to know what tools and equipment i'll need to set myself up with, i dont mean the big mulchers or plant , just hand tools and climbing equipment, PPE .

 

Thanks in advance guys

Myerscough college does not supply any equipment at all, they may have used to but not any more, the equipment and books im after are for tree surgery in general not for the courses, Im going to the Stihl store next week to buy everything i need to set up, any ideas ..?

You need to look at the bigger picture. A good tree ID book will get you hooked on trees. A good all round book is the Arboricuturalists companion or the woodmans companion or the foresters companion i have all three i am a lucky man:lol:
