Interesting link Tim,

 

moot point, but a bit odd that both Yew & Juniper appear to have been omitted from the Uk native list, with Scots being the only Coniferous species refered to

 

"Scots pine is the only coniferous species of

66 UK native tree and shrubs." taken from the 'background' paragraph

Hello mate....

Mmm. It does mention the yew in its description in the previous sentence I think but I take your point. A research error I imagine...?

 

Bio Security was an issue raised at the TEP seminar recently. Shame we didnt see you Dave...Im sure you had as a good day at Forest Research.

Stamets made me laugh and I was trying really hard to be a miserable git !

Didn't make the Alice Holt day, but going to Santon Downham one instead next week.

 

 

Suprised you didn't get to the Barrel Barchams seminar yesterday.

 

 

Apparantly, Stamets was invited to & shown around the Heath (by a non COL employee) the next day.

 

I wasn't told about it until after the fact

 

Now 'that' was a shame !

Ahh Barrell. Yes, Ive heard both he and Mynors before. I was pleasantly surprised by Mynors humor as I anticipated a very dull seminar indeed !

I guess it may have been interesting from both the angle of the professional viewpoints of respective speakers and that so much is "afoot" in the planning and so "treelife" of this here UK...?

 

I recently received an email through the Consulting Arborist Society that seemed to suggest that Lonsdale and Green were due to speak at Barchams....? I missed David Lonsdale last time out and have never heard Ted Green. Is this a definite date would you know ? ( I have it as 17 nov )

 

cheers

Tim

 

Oops -derailing my own thread.

I believe it is on Tim.

 

It doubles up on the same day that the TreeLife Diploma training day is on at Barchams.

 

Means we're gonna be stuck in Kieths (cramped) office again

 

Hey ho

They are calling a Tech Cert a Diploma? Or are you attempting a level 6 qual ?

Just completed the tech cert myself (my full stop has quit on me,,,,take a breath !! )The Management day was tough gig ! I wish I had been better prepared / My advice, dont study online / It just doesnt deliver /I guess we're all different tho' ?

The qualification is at level four Tim.

It is now a unit based portfolio affair with internal assessment.

 

A couple of the units can transfer over on to the lev 6

 

Can be awarded at either certificate or diploma depending on how many credits one acheives through the compulsary & additional units.

 

No exams or management day this time round.

 

It looks good from my perspective at this stage, will be interesting to see how it developes.
