Don't encourage people!

Right time for a rant, been doing conifers all day.......

 

 

 

Well I for one will stand up and defend the Bartletts' approach, too easy to suffer from tall poppy syndrome. I certainly don't hear any complaints when Barchams do their seminars. I don't consider any sales pitch from them, I climb trees, what were they trying to sell me??? They turn up basically saying this is who we are, what we do, and what we have found out.

 

Whatever your view, this is one the the world's biggest arb companies who put a huge amount of time, energy and resource into research. The only vested interest that is in common with these forward thinking companies is in getting the knowledge out there.

 

This approach effects each and everyone one of us by raising the bar of the profession, in advising of best practise, improving working methods, sponsorships, oh hold on better tree management etc.

If they kept their info and didn't share what would you know?

 

If anything I now have a bit of respect for Bartletts.

Bartletts are a huge organisation with an excellent reputation. BUT, there are other companies and there is other research being undertaken and I would have prefered a less bias seminar. I felt that the actual content of the seminar at Kew took second place to the sales pitch.

Now why does that NOT surprise me at all?
