Hey Mate. I have been looking through the documents store at work and my predescor has taken it with him. cheapskate!!

im 50 and climbed for 33 years 6 days a week, great time, bloody ache now though!!

A local authority cannot condition a TCA, they can add an informative that suggests they plant a replacement tree or that the applicant consider a replacemnt tree:thumbup:. They can only condition a TPO as the replacement will carry on the original TPO.

found on old coppiced Oak

looking for 4 days work next week (8,9,10,11 feb) in the south west of UK. I have 20 years experience, CS30,31,32,38,39. MWEP,C1+E. Preferabley 30 mile radius of Bristol. Own transport, climbing kit and saw.

got provisional driving license valid until june 1985, and no chainsaw experience. good a plumbing tho, and punctual, gisa job mate!!!!!!

is that worcester? if so I surveyed those trees for the council about 7 years ago. forgot to put that in the risk assessment. nice pies though. ha ha.

fell, unpredictable decay fungi especially in this location. we cant save every tree out there.

congratulations, My girl is 20 months and will climb anything within reach.

Thanks, its always good to know whos at hand, I was told at the interview that they dont use much outside consultancy but things always change, espeially if I get my way,ha ha ha. I'll see what the score is once ive got my feet under the table. Keep in touch. I might even do a bit of saturday work if poss, got all my tickets including banksman/slinger for crane work, I feel good times ahead. cheers

yes im doing a degree at present and have been doing continuous professional development as well as all the usual cs units. Its taken years of applying for these posts with no success, just got to keep on applying. Usually a Tech Cert will do the job. Ive already had experience as a tree officer which probably helped a bit. If you want to do tree surveying, why not get yourself on a 3 day PTI course £400+, that will get you some survey work for sure. Try Treelifes web site.

been the best years of my life, Ive loved every day, even when I ve lost money on some jobs, great continual learning curve in this industry, cheers

thanks to all who posted a comment, just been filling out loads of forms and crb stuff, had a great reference from my TO which is good and have just come back from a weeks holiday in sunny Dorset and I am really looking forward to the next year. Apparently the office deals with over 400 TPO works applications each year. Dont know if thats busy or not. Have to find somewhere to live up there, I m hoping it will be cheaper than where I am now, thats for sure. Thanks for the positive comments

after 30 years as a climbing arborist Im finially hanging up my harness to start as an assistant tree officer in the midlands. I know there is a bit of dislike for them but the planning department where looking for someone with a good practical background which I certainly have. Im going to miss those days when my arms feel they are dragging on the floor and an aching back, going home stinking of trees and still slightly skint but still loving the job. During the interview my chair collapsed and i rolled under the table during a discussion on Ganodermas, I got another chair and carried on, I think they felt a claim was on its way so gave me the job, ha ha ha. Im looking forward to the change as it will be challenging to say the least.
