Got, thanks, and I'm never going to let it go. Fabulous publication! Chockablock with good stuff and with Lonsdale as editor it has his usual impeccable high standard of written english. And great pictures too. Plus the ultimate glossary of terms. Perfect. Thanks again.

Picture of the Oudemensiellas toward the back is shoddy

 

A bit dissapointed that you'd not picked up on the publication being available for download, I had posted this at least twice. Once on the thread about the book.

Perhaps I need to broaden the spread of this type of news?

Perhaps that's where I heard it originally David, and then only half remembered as I'd already bought it! It's a great resource, I wonder how many have taken advantage of it?

Sadly, I fear nowhere near as many people as should have.

 

I've seen a number of tree reports concerning veteran trees over the last year that don't even reference it

I see the Anciet Tree Forum has a new website, which is pertty much the old one but a bit jazzed up. Anyway, while perusing I spotted tat as well as the excelllent ancient tree management book being available FREE for download there is another 10 page booklet called Veteran Trees : A guide to risk and

responsibility" by Davies, Mynors and Fay. I haven't read it yet but it looks thorough. Another excellent reference guide. Now there's no excuse for folk to remove deadwood unnecessarily for fear of prosecution.

 

Just need to get it to a wider audience. That, as ever, in a fragmented industry is the hard part.

Isn't that the truth! That and many contractors quite happy to remove dead wood on the pretence of safety; and possibly worried about the lack of regular work if they didn't touch any tree in the name of 'h&s' unless genuinely necessary. I think it's a case often of 'I'll carry on as I have because it works, no need to read that...'

New but still not very front end user friendly - quite a few links that don't and a search function that doesn't! When it can be found though there's so much good stuff!

 

Just been trawling the resources tab for the booklet you mention above Jules, could you give us an idea where abouts it is on the site, I couldn't seem to find it.

Got it! Many thanks!

 

(I see now I was still scrambling around on the 'old' website not the new one! )
