  1. galaxy sII all the way:thumbup:
  2. somethings gotta give though:blushing: and the more people that read about it the more of a minority percentage of those readers may take some action, people in the right places spread the word, tree huggers rule:lol:
  3. "It is intended for local authorities in particular together with other public authorities which manage publicly owned trees. It may also be used by other public bodies, including the courts, private institutions and individuals. CAVAT complements other tools of arboricultural analysis, such as single tree hazard assessment systems. So far as possible it draws upon objective evidence and published data, but it also relies on expert arboricultural knowledge and in some cases assessments that are specific to CAVAT. It can therefore only be used by arboriculturists who have received relevant training, and who have the appropriate skills and experience." sorry my mistake:blushing: should've read a bit further before posting:lol:
  4. not seen these, cheers:thumbup: could this sort of scheme/assessment be rolled out nationwide? i know each LA is different monetary/budget/ideas wise but as stated there are great number of benefits that trees bring to our society
  5. I'v just been reading about Capital asset value to amenity trees or (CAVAT) is it specifically designed for London or can it be used anywhere? Who came up with it and decided on the figures to calculate the CAVAT of a sinlge tree? What with more and more people complaining about trees as a liability rather than an asset, was wondering if this could be a UK wide model?
  6. Good article on said subject albeit from 2009:blushing: http://www.aie.org.uk/download/AA_exeter.pdf
  7. i'm afraid i've already been bitten! finished my first year of uni this week too, so till september i've kinda like got LOADS of free time:blushing:

    knots

    i use a variation of that not in the pick, but with the two legs "tied together" (like the beginning of how you would tie your shoelaces) underneath the original tie bit after the wraps works for me, never gets stuck or tight and self tends (most of the time)
  9. your in trouble now:thumbdown:
  10. I found a huge piece of fallen beech (nearly a whole tree) that i found a few weeks ago in the local woodland i used to frequent as a lad, it is full of fungi already and i can't wait to go back in the autumn to find out whats growing:thumbup: i'll be making many trips back to this location over the next few years!
  11. pleasure to meet you:thumbup:
  12. no arguments here not about the leaving though:blushing: i learn everyday on here:thumbup:
  13. lets hope it's not going end up like mr tree!
  14. a bloke i used to work with tells his customers allsorts and tries to blind them with science to get the job:thumbdown: he has his level 2 rfs cert and uses this to "con" poeple into getting the work done told him it was wrong but he said at the end of the day it was part of his sales pitch! they're all out there if you look hard enough but they just don't get caught like mr butcher!
  15. you still didn't answer my question mr pine would YOU bequeath your position and give all your money away to be in the norm as you so complain about.
  16. thats some mad growth on the HC
  17. might have to try that ring with my hitch now does it "sit back" at all now with that ring in it?
  18. if YOU were born in that position would you still be complaining?
  19. i can't say i'm a fan of the royal family, each to their own but these negative comments, are they not a sign of jealousy as it wasn't you born in there position? and if you were born in their position would you distance yourself from that and become one of us "norms", somehow i don't think so! if you like then royal family then fair enough but it you only have negative things to say, whats the point? It gets peoples backs up and causes arguments over something that you as an individual have no control over what so ever I remember my wedding day and it was one of the best of my life and i hope they (william and kate) have had a thouroughly enjoyable day
  20. http://www.aie.org.uk/download/est_age.pdf could this be used to calculate the age of that tree? wonder how old it is?
  21. plus whats the point of it if you can't use it at maximum extension?
  22. nice idea but length of old throw line does me:thumbup:
  23. banbury? Shockin work, shockin...!! but thats now given me a fancy dress idea!!
