Using a chainsaw in a public place

[NorfolknGood]

Just out of interest how would an individual stand in the eyes of the law if he/her used a chainsaw without suitable PPE, without insurance or training in a public place with no warning signs etc?

Not your woodland...
Theft
Criminal damage
Trespass
Going equipped to commit crimes
Conservation areas
TPO’s
SSSI’s
Not to mention potentially violent land owners often equipped with dogs and shotgun.
Get permission.

Oddly, same reasons i turned down two offers of a tree surveying job on HS2.....  ? K

Actually got asked if a bid on this was worth a punt...... ?   

 

HS2: Moving ancient woodland habitat for rail line flawed, ecologists say

Soil is being moved to new sites but ecologists question whether the process is effective.

that one is a very grey area, it would all depend on who caught you and what you was doing ? if HSE caught you they would have a field day,

that would depend on whether the work was for gain or reward.

I want to take my little 230mm battery powered makita chainsaw to my local wood and chop some already fallen trees and take the logs home for my wood burner

Is this allowed? if not, what are the legal implications? fines etc?

 

Who owns the land you are planning on stealing this wood from? 

 

& what do wrists have to do with the price of fish?
