Prof Claus Mattheck - A First Glance at VTA

[SOW]

We have been given a number of the 'VTA Symptoms' waterproof pocket guides from Prof Mattheck.

 

If you want one, please leave a message in our inbox on here, with postal address and we will get one out to you asap. 1st come 1st served.

Wow really popular - only have 6 left now, so anyone who has posted address before this message is guaranteed one - I have'nt been able to reply to all yet.

 

Just to explain a little bit more as to what to expect, this is a foldaway waterproof card with VTA symptoms on one side and fungal fruit body language on the other side, with loads of other info squeezed on taken from Mattheck's updated field guide for Visual Tree assessment - http://www.mattheck.de/english/vtabook1.jpg

 

We were given these and other goodies as Claus is currently writing an article for SoW highlighting issues re urban trees so we can help promote arboriculture to the independent forestry panel, who seemed to have forgotten about it in their pre Xmas progress report! http://saveourwoods.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Independent-Panel-on-Forestry-Progress-Report.pdf

 

First four replies are also getting a poster on tree mechanics by the way.

Thats’ the lot gone I’m afraid. Don’t think any who have responded will be disappointed. They will be sent off next week.

Really sorry about that, wasn't expecting that level of interest! Might be getting some more to give away at the apf exhibition.

Very kind of you to offer, but you'd probably regret it! And flattering comment indeed.

 

We are actually seeking some articles or scribblings from the Arb world to get message across to the public, (having gained a huge public audience), about the importance of individual trees. Hen was at the recent 'stakeholder' meeting in London, (sat between Stuart Goodall of Confor and Tim Rollinson FC no less!) so we're clearly doing something right - plus we have an article in the wings by Christopher Neilan, CAVAT inventor, (I've seen a preview and it's brilliant) and a promise from Dr Mark Johnston for later in March - so there's some good stuff coming up, as well as the stuff from Claus!

 

Apparently Nick Eden Arb Assoc' really drummed home the message to all present at the stakeholder meeting (& Tree Council on the case as well!) - so there really is no excuse for a dismissal of urban and independent trees in the final report.

 

One thing which would be great is to have something by an arborist about what it is actually like working up in a tree canopy - something the public know little about - so if anyone on here is willing it'd be great to hear from you.
