Thanks for your reply. Obviously there are some out there that will climb these trees and disrupt scientific works, but I think it is a bit out of line to assume that everyone who would want to climb or even go and admire these trees would be causing the effects you describe. Perhaps with more information and less of the cloak of secrecy the scientists and other interested parties could be accommodated? Surely in an environment that belongs to nature, and therefore every living creature on the planet, risks to disruption of research should be taken into account? I feel that to generalise that anyone other than the likes of sillet et al are the only ones who will not cause damage to these trees, or would not be perhaps even an asset to the science being carried out, is pretty out of line. I refuse to accept that anybody could have such a level of self conceit as to imagine that the handful of scientists involved in the research are the only people with care and respect.

Something i dont understand is why they feel that it is necessary to be so secretive. These trees have been around for thousands of years, surviving fires, floods and everything else. I wonder what gives them the right to maintain this aura of secrecy over trees, which lets face it are part of the planet. Do they honestly belive that people who are capable and desirous of seeing or even climbing these trees will cause harm? I have a copy of the original National Geographic article which virtually pinpoints some of these giants, yet they are still there and healthy. I find what comes across as some sort of superiority from these people rather condescending to say the least, from these self appointed guardians.

Dealing with a few windblown oaks in the late 90s is what prompted me to go and get some proper training in chainsaw use. I scared myself silly with a close miss when i had misjudged the tree.

The owner of Pencarrow House, Lady Molesworth-St.Aubyn- would fit the person you have described Steph!! She drives an old nissan and unless you know her you would NEVER think she was part of the gentry!The 'old money' have, IME, (in general) little or no money, and drive old cars generally.

If you have big trunks you need to get rid of, then you either stick a thread up on the forum here, or you ring your local sawmills. They come and have a look and if the trunk is any good they give you money, and if it isnt you ring it up for firewood or contact firewood merchants.
