hanging up my harness

[stetson]

after 30 years as a climbing arborist Im finially hanging up my harness to start as an assistant tree officer in the midlands. I know there is a bit of dislike for them but the planning department where looking for someone with a good practical background which I certainly have. Im going to miss those days when my arms feel they are dragging on the floor and an aching back, going home stinking of trees and still slightly skint but still loving the job. During the interview my chair collapsed and i rolled under the table during a discussion on Ganodermas, I got another chair and carried on, I think they felt a claim was on its way so gave me the job, ha ha ha.

Im looking forward to the change as it will be challenging to say the least.

30 years as a climber and now you are going to be a tree officer? How refreshing to hear of a Tree officer with real experience.

 

Good luck.
