Same as all the other people who couldn't stand stacking shelves then. Anyway, good luck.

After leaving the forces, resettlement training under my belt ( all the tickets but no experience) unable to find tree surgery/ work in my local area so had a look on here, ended up going to Sweden for a number of months came back with a good insight into tree surgery and back in the uk was given the opportunity to do more tree work mostly rail, roads, utility private and commercial jobs for a very professional tree services firm, from then on I’ve moved around getting more tickets as much experience as possible. Its something I would like to learn about and do. I like working with trees and being outside 

it’s that, “find a job you like and you’ll never work another day in your life” if that makes sense 

 

 

You are in that bind between ambition and experience,  its hard to get taken on without experience as most outfits won't train up guys as its just not worth the hassel.

 

I take it you want to be a timber faller rather than an Arborist?

Yes, it’s an ambition, something I have become interested in, but that’s the problem I have no experience in forestry timber cutting, 

Im located near Bristol so I’m not sure who would be around to go to for advice, before I did my resettlement i trawled around tree services for a chance for a look at a day in the life, I managed to get some with Acer in westbury. I would like to do the same type of thing again even if it’s just donkey work 

after reading a lot of the posts in this forum I really appreciate any help as it seems to be very hard for anyone to start
