Newbie, thanks for the info

[David Bernstein]

Hi all, I'm new to the site and wanted to say thanks for all the excellent information and general encouragement and support to all of us making the move into arboriculture and seeking advice on training etc. I'm starting at Capel Manor in Sept as a mature student (44), and am hoping to make this a complete career change and reading stuff here has been really useful,...cheers

Good for you, David. Welcome to the site.

 

Can I ask (out of nosiness) what you've worked at before this career change?
