What work can i do

[arbnovice]

I'm currently doing a arb & forestry couse and in about a years time i will be able to go for my climbing and chainsaw test. I don't want to spend money on doing a 1 week course now so i was just wondering. What tree work can i do without having any tickets.

Anything that doesn't involve the use of a chainsaw.... Hand saw only.

 

Depends on who your working for, some can asses you for there business and write a letter stating they believe you are competent enough to use a chainsaw. But this will be for there company only and can't go elsewhere with it.

 

In this day if hse, ins and tickets galour you will find that working without them will be near impossible. Get the basic ones and go from there. You don't even need the felling, just the cs30 will suffice for basic ground work.

Basically just labouring ie brash dragging. Don't knock it though, it's an excellent way to get your foot in the door and show people how hard you can work, which will do you no end of good for the future.

I had a young lad who text me wondering if there was any work experience places going, after a couple of phone calls and a meet with his mum (who got him some chainsaw boots and trousers), I took him on a couple of jobs, it was refreshing to see just how enthusiastic and keen the lad was, I gave him a couple of goes on the 346 xp closely supervised, he enjoyed humping brush and cutting some roots. The point was that had he not started off with the text in the first place he would still be twiddling his thumbs. The lad now has reasonable guidance as to training requirments and a brief insight into the business. Times are hard and money is tight but I paid him £10 for his efforts even though it was only work experience. If I can help any young person get a foot in the door I will. He has now done two separate work experience days with me and another day with another company, he will recieve references and this I feel is a good start.i dare not take things any further however as I am not recruiting just now and dont want him to build his hopes up. if you dont ask then nothing happens. Shy bairns get nowt. Good luck to him and others who are just starting out...Nick Pearson...Timberline-Roe Ltd.
