    I imagine woodchip looks and smells nicer. I had a load of compost delivered to spread over an oak rootplate after decompaction works recently and it stank the neighbourhood out!

    That's a good little invention!

    Wow!! Nice one Steve. Nice gig to get!

    Do if you collect the tree data on the Trimble and save it as as .shp file, how do you display information like tree numbers on an autocad drawing? I currently use Digiterra on a Magellan mobile mapper to collect data. I can export the data as spreadsheets, digiterra maps or Google Earth (.kml) files but have not found a good way to export in to CAD drawings.

    When is the larger event? If this smaller show is still a good one I would be up for it. I have only been to Scandinavia once before but loved it. Well up for a return trip.

    You are a legend Tony. I am just struggling through my first essay today which I have chosen to write about urban greening and the urban heat island effect. The report will be an excellent reference!
  7. Paul Barton
    Nothing to hand here, but if you do a search using the term 'sustainable urban drainage systems' or 'SUDS' you should get something.

    Hey, it wasn't my idea!

    Blimey, I'm glad you're not based around here with those prices! Back to the question about CAD though - I guess alot of architects and developers like it because it is their language. They can plop a CAD tree constraints plan straight on to their masterplan and play about with the site layout. And it looks real pretty!
  10. Paul Barton
    Unfortunately not! As you say, there is a need for planners to condition it. Apart from that I just recommend it in the report and then try and keep abreast of what is happening, but it's almost impossible (and not profitable) to keep an eye out for every site you have looked at.

    Best wishes to you and your family Dave - sounds like a horrendous ordeal. By the sounds of your posts you have a great attitude in the face of adversity for which I take my hat off to you. Keep us posted on your journey back to fighting fitness. Paul.

    Definitely ask for a copy of the land survey topographical map. This should have trees accurately plotted on it - although often some are missing. You can use a paper copy just fine if you don't use CAD. If you have a scale rule and some coloured pens you can produce a nice tree constraints/protection plan. If the job is for a small extension on a domestic property, often the home owner won't want to pay for a topo. In these cases I purchase an OS map tile from an online retailer, and then triangulate the tree positions on site using a laser/tape measure. It's pretty time consuming though so up your quote if you are doing that! And of course the key to successfully implementing a BS5837 report is on-site supervision. You can draw the best tree protection plan in the world and still have it ignored!

    Saw that beauty whilst walking on offa's dyke last month. Nice ain't she?!
  14. Paul Barton
    Well this lovely field maple seems to be coping very well with a lot of little hooves all around its rooting area!

    Is the question mark button on your keyboard stuck Dave? Re the tree: hard to tell without any pics...

    See above post from AA teccie. I think the articles are only available to conference delegates.

    All the best cerneArb.

    Just seen this you cheeky chappy. I was just trying to give the original poster a response that wasn't a pisstake to be honest. You make a good point about them not being a concern to the health of the tree though. We still haven't identified them though?! Just for interests sake.

    Have you emailed a CV to Acorn Tree Surgery? If not, send one to [email protected].

    I am waiting for confirmation back from Treelife next week - will let you know the details when I have them.
  22. Paul Barton
    Hang on, jayman hasn't said he has no experience? Either way, eventually having CAD etc under your belt will stand you in good stead at some point.
  23. Paul Barton
    Good stuff Tony. I'm not taking offence you don't remember me from the ATF meet at Broadway:001_tt2:
  24. Paul Barton
    Blimey, we're gonna need a bigger venue. I will confirm a cost and numbers with Dave soon and then it may be first come first served basis for booking as I don't want too big a group. Watch this space.
  25. Paul Barton
    Nope. I need to talk with Dave more about the exact details of the format, but at this stage I am not looking at specific mortgage or subs related course.
