I'm new on here, just thought I'd say hi. I am just getting into arb work (got my CS30 31 38), working on a christmas tree farm at the moment though have done coppicing too.

[JOEWOLFE]

GIVEN THE CURRENT STATE OF EMPLOYMENT,after my 10 week course in ipswich, i will have gained cs30,31,38,39 and also some theory. how will i fair in this situation when looking for employment, will i be useful enough to an employer. i am doing the course with a career development loan. i am 20 years old tall and stocky and very hard working. but will not have my own saws or transport untl i am earning. is this enough to be valued by a general tree work employer? any feedback will be bang on!

Another newbie just saying hi. I know very little about aboriculture but having just bought a smallholding in Carmarthenshire with a 6 acre wood that I intend to try and improve and use to fuel the house - I need to start somewhere.

 

No doubt I'll have some stupid questions for you all in due course; but I'll try the search button first!

A brief hello from me

 

Name's Al, I know Ad15 through our mutual "love" for want of a better expression of the Discovery 3.

 

Live in Dorset, I've got my CS30 and 31, primarily because half my garden is overgrown with willow and ash. Wife is head gardener for a huge estate (around 20sq mile) and knows her way around a most Stihl and Husqy kit herself. In her own words, she's into "machinery porn".

 

Usually found piloting a desk as a freelance Project Manager but with a real love of the outdoors, including spending weekends out in the woods with a basha, some snare wire and a Mora Clipper for company. When I'm not on a contract somewhere I'll be found putting in fencing and doing the less demanding tree work around local farms and paddocks.

 

Ad has done a decent job of persuading me I need to get my climbing tickets, so watch this space....

 

Nice to meet you all

Al
