If it is, i think i know which one you mean as its only 10mins from me... tis a small world!!

nice work btw!!

what was the reason for all the destruction?

nailed like a tree in school ground!

do you reckon that would be bokeh as in "bOquet" (bouquet not bucket(or bokay), with silent t and large O) or bOk"e" (with a short e as in how a child would learn the phonetic alphabet) i know this has nothing to do with photography but it seemed relevant haha!!

i've been using the gold rings as extra support when needed since i got my petzl over a year ago, they well come in handy for awkward positions!

how do you pronounce that? boke-aji? phonetically, that is??

Came across this whilst doing a bit of extra reading (i got side tracked:001_tongue:). just thought it was interesting thats all! http://esa21.kennesaw.edu/activities/trees-carbon/trees-carbon.pdf

where is dadio he seems to have disappeared!

looks like a jungle not a garden!! don't envy you one bit, know what them jobs are like as we seem to get a few!

I've been in Arb for the past 4 years (climber for 2) and have now ventured out and started my FdSc in Arb at Myerscough (albeit online). The FdSc is 3 years with the bachelors a further 2. I would at some point like to do a Masters (a long way off yet:001_tongue:) in Forestry to broaden my horizons. I know its a lot to take in and learn but i'm willing to put the effort in and reap the rewards! The ICF is more forestry related but Arboriculture does come under its umbrella. Both the AA and the ICF can lead to chartered status with the AA being CEnv and the ICF being CFor. The ISA as far as i'm aware doesn't have a chartered status its more about being certified As far as i can see both have ongoing learning programs of development, both have monthly journals and both try to raise the profile of forestry and arb. I doubt i can say that one is better than the other, i just wondered if there where any members out there who could recommend either professional body because they are members and know whats involved.

the meindl airstreams are looking like the front runners at the moment! (for me anyway, not the poll haha)

After much deliberation at this stage and process of my life i have decided it would be advantageous to join a professional body. I have been looking at both associations and am torn between the two. I have already spoken to some members of both bodies but want to get as much a diverse range of opinions as possible so i can make an informed decision. I do not want in anyway to cause any arguements between members of either association in regards to who thinks one is better than the other, but only to find out information from real people in regards to advantages of becoming a member myself. All opinions are welcome:thumbup: Cheers Robin

Really good article so far (only read about climate change and health and well being as i'm off out). Working were i do, i come across a plethora of people who ALL seem to whinge about their trees and their negative factors that affect there lives. The health and well being side brings up all sorts of positive feedback and information to possible try and change opinions (well in an idealistic world anyway)!

Nice video that! On another note how do you change the piston/piston rings if your saw is faulty because of the pistons/piston rings?

you got a link to those?

they are great photo's but i must admit some do look photoshopped (not saying they are just they "look" like they are!)

can't see the pics?

i use duncans as part of my course already asked steve about it and am going to ask duncan!

first time i've seen this one! plus the beer can must get me extra credits:laugh1:

:lol:Found these today near a landfill in billing... they look like yellow stagshorn but there not yellow!!! there was white spores everywhere:thumbup: You may if your careful also spot the rare amberus nectarus spp beercan in the background if your lucky!

Haha nice one!
