[Cassian]

To the UK Arboricultural Profession - 5/6/10

 

My name is Cassian Humphreys.

 

I am a highly experienced Arboricultural professional seeking work in Southern Britain. After nearly 20 years of living and working overseas (mostly Australia) I am returning to my home country.

 

With 25 years exposure to urban vegetation management the following is a breakdown of my background –

 

• 5 years Horticulture (1985-90).

• 13 years contractual experience specialising in tree crown and tree vitality management (private industry – 1990-2003).

• 7 years experience with tree assessment, consultancy and report writing (2003-current).

• Over an 11 year period I have worked as an arboricultural educator with practical and theory delivery, involving tree climbing, aerial rescue and presentation on the science established by Shigo & Mattheck (more recently Ingham & Lonsdale).

• 3 years development and implementation of a tree assessment program for utility clients on the east coast of Australia. My role also involved a staff training program as well as working as a tree assessor on numerous HV power lines throughout SE Qld (2007-current).

• 6 years with an east coast wide Utility Arboricultural company (2004-current).

• Extensive experience with a variety of local government and land based industry clients/ tree managers (Germany & Aus 1992-Current).

• For 18 months (2008-9) I ran a specialised Arboricultural crew carrying out a Hazard Reduction Pruning program on trees for a SE Qld Council. This linked in with our tree assessment program. My role involved consultancy, staff training, supervisation and head climber for complex jobs involving veteran and ancient trees (program due to recommence next financial year).

• I have extensive mature tree transplantation experience and experience of managing trees on development sites.

• Over a 10 year period I have worked as regular contributor of articles on trees for the Australian Arbor Age.

• Qualifications – Nch - Arb Merrist Wood (1990-91), National Diploma Arb - AQF5 (Aus, 2009), AQF4 Trainer & Assessor (Aus, 1993 - re-qualified 2007) AQF = Australian Qualifications Framework. QTRA license 1372.

For a copy of my CV and qualifications prospective employers can email me at [email protected]

 

I am interested in working in a local government position or utility arboriculture, though will also consider a position in private arboriculture.

 

Note – my key interests are in benefiting the Arboricultural profession through education and in mutual growth through organisations working in association for the benefit of trees and people.

 

Thank you for your attention.

 

Cassian Humphreys.
