Hello all. Just found the site and have been lurking for a few weeks. I have been in Urban Forestry for 10 years now and just started my own company last year. I am looking forward to gaining lots of knowledge here. Thanks for hooking me up Steve.

Welcome Eric.

 

So you decided to pay Steve off then?

He really hasn't told me how much he wants..... have you ever heard the statement "You can't squeeze blood from a turnip"?

you'd be surprised how much blood i could squeeze from a turnip:sneaky2:

 

incidentally in the uk, we use "stone" but turnip works:001_smile:

Hi all. Just passed my CS30/31 today, and my assessor recommended this community, so here I am!

Just a quick hello. Been doing odd bits of tree work for about ten years for conservation charities and friends. Decided to aim to do it as a full time job and am currently studying for the rfs cert arb, with a view to starting my own company in a few years. Am i too old at 35? I am relatively fit and have been described as a racing snake so the trees should not be too much of a problem:001_smile: A big thanks in advance for all the answers to the many questions i shall no doubt be posting in future. cheers jez

Hi everybody, ive spent my life collecting qualifications and doing nothing with them, so last week i passed my cs30/31 and i hope to gain 38/39 too. So what is the single most important piece of advice you could give a newbie looking to gain work/experience??

 

Cool site btw....

Start at the bottom and work your way up. Experience counts at least as much as qualifications in this business.
