There you go, I dropped the pic, I'd hate to influence

young minds with thoughts of No PPE.

 

Besides the second picture is better anyway.

I've had women work for me in the past. In the course of their training most didn't have the time to work up to doing removals so I can't begin to comment on working with heavy saws in the trees. All of the women who did work for me did a better job than at least 80% of the men, some more. When my clients knew that women were working for me I always seemed to get points with them. It was unusual for clients to see women doing this work.

 

There is plenty of potential discussion material on workplace sociology. After reading this thread I can see that there are very encouraging people in the workplace. That is great!

 

Encouraging minority participation in any profession would be a tough row to hoe. Does anyone have any ideas about how to encourage more minority participation in arb work?

Tom I think that showing what our job is all about on mainstream media is a good way to encourage minority participation in the industry.

 

I think the majority of the population has no clue what so ever about what our job entails, exposure will create new interest from new people.

 

Maybe?

I think that is a great idea,I don't know if any climbing comps have been given air time in the UK or Europe?I got contacted through another site by a woman who claimed to be making a reality tv show about the tree and timber industry.I palmed her off to a mate.

I think that the Meetings With Remarkable Trees program on the BBC has done some real good for our industry, a fly on the wall documentary type program would be ideal.
