Bluebells?? What bluebells?

Cheers for the feedback! I use a Canon 400D, v.nice bit of kit....and not too expensive these days.

Funny you should say that..... the warden does want to clear the leaners....but I imagine the dead limbs will be preserved if possible....it's right by an easy access path and has had some stuff cleared from around it in the past to make a feature of it. Think the leaners have been there since the '87 storm. Graham- At the moment we're coppicing a different area...not sure when this lot will get done.

Aside from the leaners on the right...what's going on with the trunk here? There's lots of dead limbs up to the crown...but ongoing growth in the top.

Nothing special....just some shots from my first fungi hunt in the local woods; Jews Ear - on standing very dead wood. Blushing Bracket ? - rotting chestnut stump Unknown, Razor Strop maybe? - standing dead birch

Hello all, 38 year old job changer here, looking for any groundie work in Essex (or Kent/East London etc) to get started in the business. I have my CS30,31 & 38....and will be re-taking 39 in January, all self funded through Writtle College. I also have C1E on my license and some limited experience with trailers. I've been volunteering at my local woods, felling, snedding etc....but would like to get some time with an arb team. Long term I'm looking at a few years ground crew, progressing to climbing jobs as and when I'm ready! Happy to do casual days, even if just as an observer....take a newbie to work day!?!

Indeed, Sequoia National Park, California. Here's another....they used to fell these things with hand-saws!!
-
Not sure my CS31 covers these beauties!
-
I've gone a bit flaccid, failed the CS39 Guess I'll have forget me tool and do it by hand!
-
Passed my CS38 today, minor demerit on supplimentary anchors.....I should be out on the lash tonight, but CS39 tomorrow and don't want to be thowing-up over the assessor!!
-
Cheers Ian, so simple I'm embarrased to have asked!!!
-
Peter, could you please elaborate for the numpties (inc me!)? If it's a potential life saver I'd like to know!

....can't believe I've never done it before...fantastic feeling. On my 38 this week....never been up before. Can't wait to get my own gear and shoot up the mother in law's oak. Hmm.....that doesn't sound right!!
