Forestry seems to have a bit of a recruitment and retention issue with an average age nearer 40 and more and more reliance on machinery.

I think this is why a lot of the bigger consultancy firms have arborists and ecologists on the staff or sub-contract in; works as a kind checks and balances system ie if an ecologist isn't sure about a tree id then give the arborist a bell and vice versa with regards to flora and fauna.
