courses: evening classes part time courses: undergraduate postgraduate courses is a good place to start. You could also try Hort Week events, Woodland Trust, Forestry Com' etc for one day events and training. Do you know what course you want to do? Is it for personal interest or do you want to further your career? There's loads of stuff out there, but you have to give us clue about what you're interested in doing!

All the replies are not a great advert some som of the arb' courses available, and mine is going to add to that. I took the ND Arb' at Capel Manor College with the understanding that I would get all my tickets. Surprise surprise, I ended up having to pay for them all myself and from another training provider The only thing I can say about your situation is that if you have it in writing what will be provided by the college, and they have failed to do this, then that's surely got to be breach of contract? Where's a legal trained AT when you need one??? I'd have thought you should be able to get a refund at the very least. Try and stick with it for the second year though, because you'll get your qualification at the end of it, even if it means you have to do your tickets elsewhere.

Google NJUG 10, as it's free to download from the site that I can't quite remember the address of just now

That's really poor service and very unprofessional of them. What would have happened if you cureent employment relied on getting this qual'??? At the very least they should reinburse you for your travel and wasted time.

Yes, it's Fulham Palace. I thought I'd mingle with the beautiful people (and lower the tone!) for a bit. I hadn't been there since way before the renovation, when I'd done some work there.
-
The texture on that is amazing and you've caught it really well. It reminds me of one of my dodgy 70's fake fur coats

Also on the same site is this great plane mono and vet' holm oak:

I had a bit of an imprumptu wander and came across these beauties: I love the medlars - they look so alien. They are a bit of an aquired taste tho! The service tree is in a unusual grouping with black walnut and white mulberry.
-
Were the tree removals part of the original planning application that you submitted? If yes, then if you have full permission as you say, then the details will be included in that. If not, and your request for their removal,is subsequent to the original plan, then so much depends on whether you're in a Conservation Area, if the trees have a protection order on the and if so, what type... Talk with your Council people!
-
If you have been given full consent, then it should be absolutely clear, black and white, what it is you have been given permission for. Any conditions should be totally clear as well. At this stage, there should be no further negotiations about the conditions as that should have been dealt with before full consent was granted. If it was me, I'd arrange a site meeting with your case officer and the TO to get their agreement on how to proceed, minute the meeting and the send them an email of your notes and ask for an aknowledgement.

FULL or just OUTLINE permission?

Public education and banging home the many benefits of trees? I don't know Damage to publically owned trees is CRIMINAL DAMAGE and as such is a police matter, and in theory so is damage to trees covered by Planning constraints. But I wouldn't fancy my chances of getting anywhere if I went down to my local police station to report any damage. From my experience, the best way to make people appreciate the value of trees is to express it in a way that has some meaning to them: in ££££s. Although CAVAT was never designed for this purpose, it is quite useful when you're trying to to give a more tangible expression of a tree's worth than saying about amenity and habitat.

Grrrrrr!!!! This is so frustrating!!! I see this kind of thing far too often but unless there is a credible witness or cctv footage etc, then sod all is ever likely to happen to the culprits. A lot depends on the LAs legal department as well, as, unless they are pretty much guaranteed to win a case, they won't go to court over it. Makes me mad

Us young whipper snappers only had the G&G Phase II Amenity Hort' (Arb) available at Capel. Are you sure you didn't spend a bit too much time at the Pied Bull and just imagined such a course?
-
You don't HAVE to prune cherries when they are in full vigour, but it can lesson the risk of silver leaf infection in particular. TBA, my LA cherries get pruned all year 'round and don't seem to suffer too badly for it. You could always explain this let the tree owner decide if they want to go ahead with the pruning now or leave it until next year. BTW, the chances of bacterial canker infection can also be lessoned by removing any fallen leaves from an infected tree, as they harbour the bacterium.

Good luck with the study and I'm glad you persevered with getting onto it. Be careful though: you'll get the learning bug and want to do more, and you'll never have a spare weekend again
-
Congrats for getting through the first exam and good luck
-
Looks nice . So they do let you out of the office once a week for good behaviour after all? That Beech is a stunner and the Parthenocissus is starting to colour up beautifully. It has to be one of the best, most vibrant clours of autumn
-
Were any hints given as to when we're likely to see some of the write ups in the Arb Journal?
-
lots of redish-pink colour inside Acer negundo?
janey replied to Harrison2604's topic in General chat
Have you got any photos of said pink stuff? -
Such a tease: you get us all excited about what's fruiting at HH, THEN you say you can't get a weekend off to take us around. TBH, a weekday would be much better for me, but I don't know how the fully employed will manage it.
-
Are these latest pics from your HH kingdom? I think you'd better get that foray date arranged for us if they are
-
If it was innocent, I'd have said utilities work as well. If not, do you now have a cracking view of the local landscape where previously you didn't?
-
Hi Gunther, I'm sure we'll all play nicely with you. Until you're nicely lulled, that is... Welcome to the forum

Happy Birthday, Jenny I hope tomorrow's hangover isn't vile enough to stop you getting up those trees
