Need tree work, will travel

[James_skingley]

Hello all, I am just returned from three years in Canada, the last two of which I was employed as a groundsman.LOve this work. I started to do some climbing/pruning/topping Loved this work. So I am back in the UK looking for the best place to take the relevant courses and an employer who would give me the time to attend them.

 

Any advice on the best training centers?

what ARE the best courses to take?

What should I expect to earn now, and after I get certified?

Thanks lads

[ecolojim]

earn now... in lincs... probably around the 60 quid a day mark or a touch more.

 

fully qual'd... not as much more as you might think. I got my climbing ticket and now im up to 75 a day. need to get my climbing with a saw ticket(s) and some more experience under my belt.

 

the market round here's pretty saturated with small 2 and 3 man operations and very few are taking folk on. Ive started in a different or parallel direction at the moment.

 

If ya want anyone to go climb with on weekends mate, gimme a shout any time. Im not far from lincoln at all. Likewise if ya fancy a beer. grab me on msn some time. I think my address is in my arbtalk profile thing, or just pm me.

 

If you're staying close to lincoln for the time being, riseholme isnt a bad place to learn by any means.

Riseholme is close but so so expensive mate.. silly money. Anyway good idea on the weekend climbs and the beer, i`m in North Hykeham and will be for a while, going to spain next week then got my cs 30,31, 36 courses in North Wales the week after.

Topping? Surely not

Oh dear Oh dear

:thumbsdown:

[Andy Collins]

Lovely, the topping topic arises yet again. So few admit to doing it, yet so many advertise it as one of their services.

Whats wrong with a bit of topping??
