chainsaw licence out of date?

[Chris Sheppard]

Thats because the assessor has a tree surgery background not forestry? How often do you see a thread on hear about work or pricing thats shows the difference between the tree surgery world and forestry?

 

Absolutely - but it comes back to these college qualifications that are supposedly forestry and arb but they don't get taught any practical hands on forestry.

 

Does seem that we've gone a bit off topic though

When i started in 94 the trades were totally different. Now hand felling has fallen out of favour due to harvesters fallers have moved moved into tree surgery and the skills have been lost in even in the last ten years, it will return but it will be hard! The harvester woods will run out and we will be left with the difficult ones where the machine can't go! Trust me i'm in those woods now in flat! north norfolk.

That's what we do too, the stuff the harvesters can't or won't. Other than one job recently we've had an unusually long run of flat sites too

Thats what i mean chris hand falling will be important. Every time i fell a tree i pride myself on hitting the gap, we are growing the rest for the future? I have had plenty with me who couldn't give a monkees about other trees trees etc. But hung trees cost money!

I couldn't possibly comment on hangers Though it's how you deal with them that counts (that's my excuse nd I'm standing by it!)

 

This is what we should all be aspiring to speed wise to make a proper wage i the woods

keep up - we've gone off on a tangent

[MATTMOSS]

I'm sorry but thats utter nonsense.

 

Oh right, then please enlighten us if you know different.

It was an NPTC assessor that told me that, so I thought of all people he would know?

I will ring NPTC tomorrow and ask them, just in case hes making it up.
