2 x assistant surveyors required for i-Tree survey Bridgend
Paul Barton replied to Paul Barton's topic in Employment
Bump! -
Huh?

That doesn't look particularly like K. deusta to me - I think the dark areas are exudation points on the bark. You may have seen things that we can't tell on the photos though. It could be the onset of honey fungus? I suspect the stem wound and peeling bark is a result of an old physical wound to the lower stem. There is a roll of occluding reaction wood on the right hand side of the exposed sapwood - the fast-growing new wood material may be expanding quicker than the old bark around the wood causing it to peel off.

I'm looking for an assistant surveyor in Bridgend for 6 weeks if you'd be interested in that? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

2 x assistant surveyors required for i-Tree survey Bridgend
Paul Barton posted a topic in Employment
I am looking for two people to assist in a land and tree survey in Bridgend, South Wales starting from Mon Aug 18th until the end of September, 4 days per week. These roles would ideally suit a student or someone wishing to get some surveying experience. The daily tasks will be helping the main surveyor with locating and measuring plots of land across the Bridgend area. Within each plot we will be measuring the amount of tree and shrub cover, identifying all species and taking measurements of the trees. The assistant is not required to enter any information on to the survey database or necessarily identify the tree and shrub species, but some background knowledge would be helpful. The main requirements are reliability and enthusiasm to learn. Please PM me or call 07765 493633 for more information -
And this is Guignardia aesculi leaf blotch - also different from what you are seeing. As Chris said, you normally get some yellow panes around the darker brown blotches with this.

I'm confident that is not leaf miner damage. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

That looks like drought stress to me. Is the drainage different on each side of the road? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Question for you dog owners: do you take your dogs to work most of the time? What do you do on a hot day when the van is roasting? Just thinking about getting a dog at the moment. I'm not on the tools much anymore, just surveys and office days (on a farm). Just trying to think through the practicalities of having a dog with me at sites where a dog can't be let out e.g. roadside surveys, old industrial sites.... Would a lockable crate with a cover over it be the best thing on a hot day?

Is it Box - Buxus sempervirens?

I have a Haglof digital clinometer which is good. Very small but stupidly expensive (hence I got one off ebay). I have recently heard about a new app and phone attachment called Spike which looks amazing: ikeGPS | Spike. Might be worth pre-ordering one as it looks the bees knees.

Yes I use it and think its great, although I haven't used other systems so can't draw comparisons. I have no accounting knowledge but find it easy to use. It produces professional looking invoices and has some great features such as automated emails to chase overdue payments. It links with my online business account so automatically updates as payments come in and go out. At any time it gives an instant snapshot of my profit, cash flow and tax liabilities. I can send you a referral code for 10% off the monthly fee if you like. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!
Paul Barton replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Picture Forum
Do you think air-spading is the most effective method of assessment for this decay then? -
Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!
Paul Barton replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Picture Forum
Looking good Tony. I note from other threads that you are quite confident that Oaks fail pretty rarely due to this fungus. However, given that the tree in these photos is in a public space, did you do much to assess the extent of decay before reducing the crown? -
I'm having a go at glass blowing tomorrow. I'd love to try out a few more old crafts. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Thanks for your reply. What makes you sure it's australe? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Would folks agree that this is most likely G. pfeifferi? There were FFBs in two locations - the larger on an old stem wound at around 6m and the smaller one in the main fork of co-dominant stems at about 7m. The shadow on the second picture makes it hard to see properly. I don't remember seeing this before - mostly Fomes fomentarius above ground level on Beech.

If you're up for some CAD stuff check out KeyTree LT from Keyscapes systems. I wouldn't be without it. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

Hi Chris, Yes, it will be a competency and will hopefully be LANTRA endorsed. This training is crucial to our industry if we are to have a half-decent urban forest in 50 years time.

Thanks for the feedback. What did you find most interesting? Did they discuss the Kew Gardens case?
