Recommended Posts

The Consulting Arborist Society is hosting an event at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh on Tuesday July 1st.

 

They will be giving presentations on the whole can of worms that is managing the risks posed by trees. This has been a hot topic on Arbtalk and the UKTC recently as the merits of different approaches to tree risk assessment have been debated.

 

David and Jeremy have lots of experience in this area, both having acted as expert witnesses in high profile court cases involving fatalities caused by trees.

 

There will be plenty of time allowed for questions to be put to the speakers, so bring along your burning issues to open up some good discussion :thumbup:

That would certainly spice things up wouldn't it! I gather Mr B was quite scathing of Kew's approach to tree risk management. Just doing his job I guess.

 

and his job being...........to stir things up perhaps :biggrin:

 

Will be interesting to see what the context of the reported comment was really about.
