I was thinking about doing this myself. My choices for my next stage of learning were either the Prof Dip or a BSc, but i decided to go with the degree because it is a broader spectrum of learning and is more transferable (and, admittedly, a whole load more work ). Good luck with it , let me know how you get on with the course?

Depends where the case is heard. The level of fine imposed by a Magistrates court is fixed at the max of £20,000. If a case goes to Crown court, then the level of the fine is unlimitted. The Judge will take into account the "value" of the tree, any financial gain made by the removal of the tree, eg - the profit made on a new house where the tree once grew, and add this to the statutory amount. Can add up to serious amounts of money. Although it was designed more as a tool for the insurance (subsidence) industry, CAVAT is very useful for getting a quick valuation of any tree in these cases.

Always worth getting a good relationship going with your local, friendly TO A quick call or 'mail will let you know if there are any Planning constraints and you'll also find out if your client has been totally up front with what they have told you. Most LA's will also have something on their websites about where their CA's are. If in doubt, CHECK. Otherwise, it could be your reputation and bank balance thats affected. Not good.

Hoodius sinkestateus, the common Hoody? Or is that just an urban occurance? I'm always worried about finding one behind my garaage door

That doesn't take into account pathogens that are transmitted by vecter.

Stunning. I bet it smelt gorgeous, too. Even though i live in suburban blandness, we've got a decent bit of woodland only a couple of miles away that's full of bluebells. 'Tis lovely Where was piccy taken, btw? But i think i've got a migraine coming on after looking at the last 3 pics.

Not entirely the most practical solution, i agree! But always worth considering, depending on the "value" of the tree. If the residents really wanted to keep the tree so much, it's an option that could be looked into further. But my experience is that once people have to give up something they like, the surrounding green in this case, they tend to suddenly not be too bothered about the tree felling after all .

Hokay. When you wrote "young", that could be anything from a sapling up to my age . Never really had any hands on experience with vet tree management, though like plenty of arby types i've read plenty about and and could probably write a lengthy tome on the subject. Are you sure, really really sure you like the idea of triffid like mutant oaks? They could turn out to be the knot weed with secondary thickening

Why not just get rid of the cerris entirely? More light, less non natives, less galls

And following that, where the hell did that bottle of banana brandy come from ?

I always used Milton - tested on babies so should be good enough for my trees Followed by air drying. Jays Fluid was also recommended when i was in college, but never used it. It would be worth trying to speak to someone who works on the Brighton elms about this, as they have to be incredibly careful with DED.

Having read the Beeb article, i'd like to know why remedial work and / or an exclusion zone wasn't considered. Hmmm, pondering time.

Big congrats to you. Vitual pint of liquid of your choice on it's way to you LA is not a bad way to get your practise. The work spec's may all be fairly mundane, and the spp choice is somewhat limited - you'll get **** hot on your plane idents!!! - but you'll get good with all you Chapter 8 Regs and all other kinds of wonderful H&S shenanigans.

Might do. Ummm, so what's happening in Kingston ? Don't forget i've been excommunicated and am no longer part of the Brotherhood. No one tells me nuffin...

Because, like all women, i just know Had a look at the full spec' for the TO job in Camden - i think you're safe from me encroaching on to you turf for a little while yet. I'm trying to get away from that whole public servant thing, it leaves me feeling soiled

Ooh, who's got their meglomaniac head on? Time for some lithium tea and an early night, dear
-
Far too late fot that - i've previously pounded the mean streets of Camden and Haringey (professionally, not for a wierd pleasure fix), which i do believe, has you surrounded

Because you are a very, very lucky man:001_tongue: Special Brew - Satan's dribble. Why is the diminutive of Richard Dick? Why do you never a a song you actually quite like stuck in your head? And why has it taken me this long to post on this thread?

Get a boob job and marry a footballer, simples.

If they allow kids, dogs should be no problem. There were dogs last year, so i'm presuming it's the same this year. Possibly not the helpful, definative answer you were after.
