Guidance Note 1 ? Bats in the context of tree work operations

if bats by their nature choose trees that have defects to roost in does this mean they are used to or expect the natural disturbance caused by the natural environment i.e. trees failing in high wind/rotting/failing? i assume this is why certain bats have more than one roost.

Thanks David.

 

I did mention this in one of the threads recently. It is written by Andrew Cowan and is available from the Arb Association,details are on their website. They are taking orders but when I spoke to them a few days ago they were quoting early April delivery. So as yet no chance to see what has been updated.

Maybe Alan (Bats n Trees) can answer this more proficiently than I can ?

 

But I would of thought by the association of hibinating in the Winter in trees with no canopy, then this possibly mitigates or reduces the chance of then being in a tree during failure, as most trees (debateable) fail when in full leaf due to sail/weight etc.....

 

If the furries are in trees during the growing seasons (& reletivelty alert) I'd imagine they are fully intune with the internal creaks & groans of a tree that's dynamically within failure.

 

just my thoughts

That's interesting.They are now based just outside Cheltenham and I rang to see If I could collect a copy as I am often over that way.They said they had no stock but were taking orders for delivery in a couple of weeks time.Perhaps they did a limited print run and have already sold out.Do you know someone who actually has a copy of the third edition ?
