Forestry and British Timber.

Who has a subscribtion to the above, what's the news? I understand the FMJ have purchased them and shut it down. Certainly I undertand that Andy Birt has been made redundant. How will this (if true) affect the APF show?

Pete,

 

I have a current subscription with a while to run, I've got the latest copy and can't remember seeing anything about this. I'll have another look in a bit.

 

Interesting thought re APF though

The rumours have been going round in the ag world that CMP wanted to offload FBT because of their rapidly dwindling subscription base. It would seem that that is what has happened becuase if you call FBT you will get redirected to FMJ or Forestry Journal as they now are called.

 

It seems that they are doing the APF 2008 stuff, according to the website

[Dagmar]

That's big business I guess!

I guess so we'll have to see if another edition of the mag turns up or not!

Essential Arb goes with F&BT, so thats finished too.

 

Be nice if you subscribers get a rebate or subsribtion to FMJ but the content is different and so is the readership and advertisers.

fbt and forest machine journal have joined.its now known as forestry journaand any subscirptions will be moved over.

with regards essential arb we can only assume that it is no more, and the arb and amenity matters sectin of forest and machine journall(now forestry journal) will take over.

although fmj is or fbt are good publications, i am a arborist and looked forward to the copys of essential arb.

thats why FBT wanted to give me 16 months for theprice of 12 at renewal time ( forgot to pay and now its too late.)
