community woodland.
David oakman replied to David oakman's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Yes that is what i think Andy there are two tree workers with tickets the rest can use hand tools be safer that way:001_smile: -
The local village is getting a community woodland. Do you think everyone should have a chainsaw cert or do you think some lessons from a tree worker will do? Or do we think local people should stick with loppers and hand tools and let the pros do the tricky stuff felling logging ect. I wonder how this sits in the law?

Charlieh i put hawthorn and blackthorn through a japper processor works well but as you said i also cut my cord to 4 feet as most comes home on the quad they dont need to be straight as the processor has an arm with a spike which holds the wood still:001_smile:
