if not , Im sure you will reap the benefits of doing the Ra yourself Analyze what you intend to do the process (s), where you intend to do it the site(s), & with what systems, equipment & staff you intend to achieve this Then work out what could go wrong & implement controls to minimize the risk of those hazards hurting someone or damaging something & the write it all down there arent many quick fixs, without usually paying for someone else to do all that hard work for you. you could try this guy I understand He provides such services P.

Oh euro land .......what a joyful place

I cant claim that one , its just doin' the rounds , but seems to make a whole load of sense to me

 Letter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Dear Mr. Darling, Please find below my suggestion for fixing Britain 's economy. Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan: There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. - Pay them £1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations: 1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fix ed . 2) They MUST buy a new British CAR. Twenty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed . 3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed . 4) They must send their kids to school / college /university - Crime rate fixed 5) Buy £50 of alcohol / tobacco / fuel a week there's your money back in duty / tax etc It can't get any easier than that! P.S. If more money is needed , have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances

it basically covers woodland tpos & whether new growth within one, post the protection , should also be covered 42. As for the temporal reach of woodland orders, I see nothing illogical in tree preservation orders applying to future trees. The tree preservation order for the one tree, or for a group of trees, may be intended to apply to specific trees only, but a woodland order would seem designed to protect the undifferentiated mass of trees in the specified area

great for mr fox though

okay -- Unique Selling Point. its great ......... & £25K SO yes your right not interested. strike us of the mail shot please. theirs an art to selling I beleive, Good Luck,

what a lot of people seem to beleive is that tree companys are loaded, however what they dont see is the cost of running a tree company, between overheads, insurance, kit, training, business development, infrastructure, advertising, wear & tear , the money has to be apportioned in the right way , I could buy one of your machines tomorrow, bacs payment no probs , but when faced with the rest of the expenditure, I simply wont Yes the kit does have a good name however is it the best ? there has not yet been anything made by man that can not be broken by man ... the secret is in maintenance, the best wont last if its not , & a modest machine that is looked after will undoubtedly outlast it. unless you believe your stock deserves a life time warranty parts & labour then as you say you'll fit the market as stated earlier what is your usp

well theres arrogance for you ,, Good Luck

loads of info aie.org the subject has is well covered by common law , statute law & case law. dependant on the loaction & any potential targets there are some very interesting stated cases,

£25K for that a brand name will only get you so far , Does it come with a life time warranty ? A lucky tree company could be on @ 25-30 % ish profit margin so that a hell of a lot of trees to cut down to make £25K I'd want it to do the climbing & clear up after itself for that kind of money ,, ridiculous ! imo

some folks just have way too much time on their hands, but bloody funny Step 1. Tie balloons to car. Step 2. Drive like a bat out of hell ! Step 3. Watch people freak out!!!!

Guys this isn’t Just about checking up on companies or individuals or about trying to catch anyone out, or just about promoting a select group, its also about speaking on behalf of you, representing you, promoting quality work so that the dodge & scarper brigade get a reduced foot hold Because the Awareness of the public & procurement departments & colleges & & & will have a focus. You are correct that many have gone before, & still remain some look solely at an individuals academic Quals, some look at the academic & practical application of skill some look just at the company, But who has looked at the industry from the boot laces on up??? , from training - equipment supply, insurance issues, education, awareness, promotion of the industry, recommendations for practical best practice. assist with training packages not just the hands on Stuff but How to write an Ms & Ra Whats the law on bird nesting. advice as apoint of reference, Not as a bunch of know it alls but as a means of assistance. We all know that some La stipulate various criteria in their pqqs Why is there such a wide range of requests, - because they simply don’t have a working knowledge of such a niche industry. There are just so many Hoops to jump through & not all of those hoops are needed. So we feel that a clearly difind benchmark that is practical, as a point of reference would help. Some pqqs stipulate Mewp operation tickets as mandatory but if you don’t use a mewp then why request it. Also if you have a mewp operator & the guy in the bucket holds climbing certs Should he/she have to have cs47 ? The main issue is that, As we see it Common sense has largely disappeared from what is in the main a practical skills based industry, we can all pontificate & theorise ,but without practical skill nothing we get done as chainsaws don’t do the work independently.. it will remain a set of well intended ideas......... Okay So one example & I choose this for no reason other than it popped into mind the recent Nos & nptc Coc CS 31 , assisted felling of a tree utilizing a rope Application & need. Yes in Arbor trees are pulled over, to reduce the need to totally sectionally dismantle it, once sufficient canopy has been removed by either a climber of pole operations from the ground. employing a rope & either a winch Or groundies to assist the stem down safely. however in the context of tree Felling this would only be required when the felling direction is opposite the weighted portion of the tree ! However we already have split level cuts for that! don’t we.. ? & if we explore it further , what size rope will be required SWL wind loading etc ? What attachment method will be employed ? How many groundies ? Or are we utilizing a winch ? How close can we get to the felling ? as Afag state no persons within Two tree lengths. when felling. & if we do adopt this method do we stop teaching split level , Do we get rid of cs44 felling a standing stem using a tug line ? Our should it be seen as reasonable for those who hold Cs31 then automatically gain cs44? I can see the nee for cs 44 in some application. However the confusion comes yet again , when a site specification criteria states must have all nptcs this can include cs44 , yet many Arbs wont have it as it is in my opinion supper ceded in gaining Cs31, I know of instances where those who held cs 31 32 couldn’t go onto a site because they didnt have Cs 44 I also know of companies who have staff trained to cs 30 31 32 38 39 40 41 stump grinder, chipper, first aid trained but were stopped work because they didn’t have any one qualified in cs 45 ground worker When I came to this industry I knew very little & it was very difficult to get a direction, So many voices saying so many things & yet the industry is still fragmented !!! Should this continue ? I don’t think so Will the Treeguild help I hope so as it draws on the experience of real practioneers, who have started this project from the stand point of complete frustration. Kind regards Iain

The Last Penny A father walks into a restaurant with his young son. He gives the young boy three pennies to play with to keep him occupied. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the pennies and starts slapping him on the back. The boy coughs up two of the pennies, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help. A well dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman, in a blue business suit, is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant. Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants, takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last penny, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the penny to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word. As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor?" 'No', the woman replied. 'I'm with the Inland Revenue.'

Hello Matt Yes it is This has been in development for quite sometime now, & we are getting much closer to releasing the Guild out to a wider audience, However we are aware that you cant please all of the people all of the time & this venture is likely to attract attention some positive & some not so helpful. that is why we are in a consultation phase at the moment. Our Criteria has been offered for comment to some of those organizations that may wish to cast their discerning eye over it. As David previously stated this is about rounding a corner to, join up as far as possible elements of our industry that so far have been left marginalized. We want some bridges over the gaps. We all have our points of view, Most Arborists have strongly held views on our industry, where things may have gone astray. We simply hope to assist in promoting those who actually Care about the treework services that they provide & the staff you get them their. We wish to establish a benchmark via a criteria based voluntary scheme that can be worked work to or toward, therefore giving due recognition to commitment to those services offered & duly delivered in a professional manner. whilst meeting statutory obligations & guild criteria. We are happy to recieve expressions of interest Here .
