Not the first half sorry can only assume it was in the bad weather, and the second went over some time Wednesday night.

yes, I hate the fact that I need to be trained to be considered worthy, but needs be, time to get on the bandwagon and do the training

 

That'll be no guarantee; I took it and am still unworthy.

 

What's to hate about the fact that training tends to qualify the trainee to do the job, or even do the training.??

 

But sure do it; the price is right.

What i mean Tobias is I have to PAY and be told HOW to do a job i am currently more than capable of! so i can get a little bit of paper that says so:biggrin:

 

But if you cant beat them join them!

Tony everyone at the training was highly qualified at some key aspect of tree mgt coming into the May course

But all benefited from widening their concept of "the job".

 

Small group work was most productive interaction

A lot to learn from each other

Cultures can be like echo chambers

So new and outside technology is harder to hear

 

But those walls came down at the training--great stuff :thumbsup:

Heres a story on the tree that came up on Facebook. Think the ATF posted it. The whomping willow that's a yew tree in the middle of frithsden beeches.

Good find Rob, thanks for posting

 

shame that it appeared that very little of that £50k mentioned in the report (generated in part due to the tree) seemed to have been spent on the trees management.
