Look up the chainsaw operators blog on Facebook , there are a number of cutters in south Scotland that post regularly, and are generally pretty helpful.

Nope i haven't priced a job this badly in about 15 years. Never to old to learn

Once you get your basic felling tickets, you will need another 18 months- 2 years to get up to speed. Don't be pushed into situations where you don't feel comfortable, and don't be afraid to ask questions, lots of questions. Positive engagement is a 2 way thing, you will learn, and your mentors/ employers will get the best out you. You will never become rich, but it is one of the most rewarding jobs, working in the most beautiful parts of the British isles.

A massively tangled mess of hell. After 2 days of rigging there is still about a 1/3 of the crown left.

Is that for Nick Milner by any chance?

Narrow leafed Ash?
-
The open areas have had a robo flail run over and collect the brambles, but other than that we haven't done anything to hide where we have been. Sometimes i think less is more, like plastering, the more you fiddle with it the worse it looks.

I have not seen silverleaf in Pembrokeshire for years, but in the last couple of years i have to remove about 10 which had succumbed. Interestingly none of the dead trees had been pruned, and i suspect that the silver leaf was a secondary infection.

Moved out of the woods and onto a SSSI, to reduce the levels of Willow. Everything to stay onsite in habitat piles.

I wouldn't get too hung up on what the book says, its a big old Ash, and the most likely candidate is Perenniporia. After twenty years of trying to get my head around tree fungi, i still feel that i don't know very much, and their form has so many variations. Get Mr Humphries book, you won't find better .

I would start with Perenniporia

I made these wooden side, which lean against the stack and the tarp ties over the top. Max air flow, very little rain, and easy to move.

Flat wet woodland, tree quality high, bramble levels low.

Bomb proof, really good vibration damping, shame that they have stopped making them.

Biometric scaling- elaborate?

Is this Alder bracket doing what you are asking -

I have missed your posts, and i am not entirely sure what you are asking. I have an inkling, but an idiots version would be helpful -
Crisis is probably abit strong a word, but nobody seems to be taking this seriously. I have spent the last 20 years managing this wood, and we were starting to get some decent saw logs. All of the timber is now stained with brown which means they are only good for firewood. The wood is approx 5Ha, and of that about 4Ha is now standing dead. With the open canopy the brambles are over head high which is making felling and extraction difficult, and needs alot of control(expense) to get the new trees established. The wood is no longer acting as a carbon sink, and the amount of water leaving the wood is definitively higher. Both of these have serious implications for the future, so maybe crisis is the right word.

Once you go further east into Carmarthenshire Oak and Beech levels start to increase, but levels of Ash are still high there. The North part of Pembrokeshire has higher levels of Oak, but we are predominantly Ash and Sycamore down here.

As the title says.
