Fell trees over 380mm with at least one  over 500ish mil. 

 

Cuts suitable to the tree so standard fell, dogs tooth safe corner. Letterbox cut for the bigger trees. Then hang a tree up. Get it down with a winch.

Cheers much appreciated

Download the current Assessment schedule from the NPTC website, it will tell you everything you will be asked to do practically and verbally.
