TPOs - are they important?

[Mick Dempsey]

As an aside to this interesting discussion (and I think it has been) a little thing I've noticed over here. A lot of firms here call themselves "entretien parc et jardin" entretien is maintenance. They have a distinction, a large expanse of ground planted with trees is a parc, one rarely does anything to them but take them out when dead, or remove storm damage, a jardin is smaller, trees would be trimmed and managed in these, often to within an inch of their life!

TPOs are they important ? ........... The answer is in the title . Tree Preservation Order yes yes and yes . Im sick of hearing that a tree has dead bits in it and might fall onto said property ? Stop building near beautiful trees . If you ever buy a house near a tree well tough you must of seen its beauty before you purchased the property ? They are very obvious and visible statues of nature that were there well before you wakey wakey . Why do people who live in the city crave countryside walks and retreats for fresh air which trees supply .

 

 

 

If I had to live a day in the life of my local TPO Officer. I would be arrested . Sad how people can set a tree surgery business up without any knowledge or understanding of Arboriculture and Forestry not to mention trees and there relation to urban development ?

 

 

 

Some of the Tpo applications are unreal .

 

 

 

Sorry if anyone has been offended by this post . If you have tough buy me a beer next time we meet and I will gladly enlighten you

Come on now, we can't have a monoculture now, can we! .

 

 

Slightly modified quote sentence but.... No, we can't (or perhaps shouldn't) unless the the organisation is called the forestry commission??

 

(Tongue in cheek!)

Admirable passion but I can't help thinking entrenchment is only ever going to present a barrier to objectivity and the ability to appreciate the situation from an alternative perspective.

 

Dread to think what the "uncut" version was!!

[Kveldssanger]

It wasn't that bad.

 

In talks with Gary over working out some sort of survey to do with TPOs. Would certainly be nice to get something tangible in hand.

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

Happy to help if possible.

[Gary Prentice]

Happy to help if possible.

 

You can, you can:biggrin:

 

 

Sympathetic contacts in planning or tree officers who would be willing to answer a short on-line survey. I need a contact in every LPA in England. TiT2 had a 66% response rate, lets see if through the membership of Arbtalk we can better that:biggrin:

I have been following Arbtalk for sometime and I am surprised how few TOs contribute - unless I am wrong........I know we all have varied views and are generally passionate (if not sometimes to the extreme!!)

 

Would be interesting.................

Roz you are so right ? All of my local TO know there stuff but only one out of the 5 is truly passionate ?
