Will Hinchliffe replied to stevelucocq's topic in Training & education
Im doing past papers today. In preperation. -
Back in the game. Nice one.
-
Yes its rooted under the foliage and there is some incredible twisted wood under the frith. Its an incredible tree.

Nipped out this morning to get a photo of this phoenix beech that is marching towards the capital. We did some work to it earlier this year. I hope the landscapers were kind when they put the path in. Really awesome tree to swing about in.

Sooty bark disease, hypoxilon and bulgaria are all endophytic. There spores have been found in living cells and they start to grow when conditions become favourable. Im sure there are many more.

help on firstaid please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will Hinchliffe replied to sse arb's topic in Training & education
Use of Celox and use of chest clamps should be included. -
The fence is to protect people from the spirit that lives in the big burr. The last person who went up to investigate it never returned.

I reckon there probably those weird Chinese fake huskys.

If you download the new Rigging research PDF from the HSE it explains calculating Green wood weights for timber. For Oak 1 cubic meter weighs 1 tonne. This means it has a specific gravity (Spg) of 1. Beech is heavier from memory I think it has a specific gravity of 1.26 which means 1 cubic meter weighs 1.26 tonne. Best to check this for yourself. Best to allow a bit extra for branch unions and forks too. http://www.tree-consult.org/images/p...68_Rigging.pdf

A mailon would work. Im quite keen on trying a swivel but have a webbing bridge and a D ring. I think that a Delta shaped mailon on the webbing would work nicely.

Looks like a Yeosimitie bowline to me. Lots of accidents have occurred using this knot. There is a danger if the knot is set incorrectly a second loop can be formed and the user accidentaly clips into it then it fails. BE AWARE.

Veteran Trees - Myth, Reality & Management
Will Hinchliffe replied to David Humphries's topic in Training & education
The little gem that stuck in my mind was the possibility that removing the fruiting bodies of Inonotus dryadeus could slow decay by the fungi. The theory is that by removing the bracket you may stop the drying out of the decay area facilitated by the gutation droplets. Of course the bracket could be a valuable habitat and this should be considered before removing the fruiting body. The photo of the massive Rigidoporus fruiting body was very impressive. -

Really nice to meet everyone. Great talk and the nursery is very impressive. -
Great video. Love the Danish pie cuts.

There was no obvious lateral stem but when I removed the bracket it did have a single stem like attachment point. The bracket was very dry so may have discoloured. The rot inside was cubicle with visible myceleum in places. You might be able to make it out from the other photos.
-
The rest of the photo set: 1. Some strange grey mineralised soil attached to decaying wood from under the fungi. 2. An adventitious root. 3. Three types of decaying wood found on the floor in the above hole. 4. Bark on the inside of the tree. Re-iteration/rejuvenation ? 5. Inside the trunk 6. Inside the trunk 7. Deadwood in the crown 8. Ganoderma resinacium

Here is a photo to show I reinstated everything and left the now detatched fruiting body in place. I found two tiny beetles living in the bracket.

Found 3 Ganoderma resinacium fruitng bodies on an Oak this weekend. Its the first time I have seen G.resinacium in the flesh. Its host was a fantastic Oak tree 24m in height with a 2m DBH. The large diameter is caused by reaction growth compensating for the strength loss due to the internal decay and not indicative of its age. I believe the tree to be about 200 - 270 years old. I do not believe that decay in the main trunk is being caused by the Ganoderma. The decay looked very much like that caused by Laetiporus. I had a dig around the largest of the fruiting bodies and the decay did not seem to extend along the buttress and also appeared to be confined to below soil level. Any way I took loads of photos here they are.

Nice work. Hope you get loads of quality experience.

The Tolpuddle Sycamore in Dorset has fantastic history. Its 320 years old. It was 150 years old when trade unionism was born under its bows. It sheltered Agricultural workers banned from church's and meeting places. They hung out under the tree and grumbled about there pay and working conditions. They formed an illegal workers group. The landowners had the men arrested for swearing an illegal oath. They were deported to Australia but then pardoned after public outcry.

One place left for thermal imaging

A bargain -
Good on them for having a go at making the job faster and more fun. A bit daft looking but still cool.
