Forestry Work in Dorset

[Mark Gibbens]

We are currently involved in a felling job in Mid Dorset and could do with a couple of extra cutters. It is a lovely job felling Lawsons, Douglas and Hemlock and leaving oak and hazel. Please PM me if you are interested.

well there are many people out of work,and £250 a week is better than sit around on your arse dole money

 

plus a greenhorn to the game is given the chance to gain experience in the woods,you have to start some where.

Just a quick note, i'm not an arby, 25 yrs forestry, and I wouldnt insult even a green faller starting out at less than £70 a day,my guys generally take around £90.

Whilst I agree that £50/day is insultingly low, you will know that production is production, and by paying £90/day, u will be ensuring they bring enough to the party i.e saw, fuel, don't need supervision and turn out enough product.

well said martyn and it is very true:thumbup: i Know so many people who are not even in tree work that would be happy to earn that money. In this current economic climite, i dont think people can be fussy if they want to get there foot in the door so to speek. btw martyn i'll be in touch soon, may have a week's work for us when i get back.
