Does anyone know the reason why the lime avenue at clumber park has "black paint" applied to the base of each tree..have had many theories over the years but never produced an accepted answer. regards Dave:thumbup1:

Hi folks I would be intrested to know what rank as key stress causing features for individuals in our profession, and why we wouldnt give up our profession for a more financially rewarding occupation.. Dave:thumbup:

Gary there is an earthworm in the middle of that image...could this be some new form of highly evolved hyphae which has become tired of its diet of nematodes ??? Dave

Found this video showing what use the xerion could be put to in the forest:thumbup:[ame=http:// ] [/ame]

Its used for agricultural work..but there is a model with a rotating hydraulic cab which allows you to attach just about anything...some excellent videos of Xerions working in northen european forests on youtube.. The john Deere in the background is lucky to have survived after having a 1 tonne water tank dropped on the roof by a student when he was carrying out his forklift assessment...needless to say he failed?

Hi Folks, can anyone recommend an arboricultural themed location which would be suitable for a bus load of level 2 Arb students. Ideally looking for something within 2 hours of Lincoln, have visited Sherwood, clumber park, Cambridge botanics etc. any advice greatly received. Dave:thumbup:

Thanks for that link MonkeyD sorry my original post was a bit vauge , thought I may get lambasted as the thorn was/is associated more correctly with christianity than paganism, will research things with a bit more detail in future. THanks again Dave:thumbup:
-
Thought I would be nice to think it had survived as it was a local landmark and had spiritual meaning to lots of pagans ect. Also saddened me when the link was originally posted,guess I'm just the curious type. Dave:blushing:

Hi Folks sorry if this is a reacuring thread..we have some english yews on site that are showing severe signs of stress ... initially thought it may just be damage caused by the low winter temperatures. Apparently the first signs of what appears to be scorch was noted in one tree two months ago, this has got progressively more severe. Several other trees have since also showed damage and the symptoms seem to be spreading across campus which is quite worrying. All the affected trees are approximately 200 years old and are in sheltered positions. there are no other signs of pathogens on the foliage or bole, the foliage appearing brown and desicated. Has anyone any ideas, the trees have shown localised patches of what was assumed to be weevil damage for the pastcouple of years but nothing more. regards Dave:001_smile:

Cant quite belive that it is posible for two horses to move, let alone pull the amount of timber on those skids..amazing

Hi Monkey D i'm being rather ignorant, assuming thats something to do with stone cells? Psuedosclerotial has got to be my new favourite word, after osculation that is: shame i dont know what it means. regards Dave

Thanks for the reply mr War sir, i'm intreaged by "plant nappies" i'm assuming they are similar to oil spill kit sponges? could you provide any more info as i have this horrible image of my lads soiled pampers thanks again Dave:thumbup:
-
Thanks for the reply Charlieh, does the term bio oils relate to hydraulic system fluids only? i'm assuming regular desiel generates the same particulates as biofuel when burnt thus cannot see the advantage to using biofuel on SAC's etc, perhaps i should check out aspens website? many thanks Dave:blushing:
-
Hi Folks does anyone know of restrictions relating to fuel types allowed on sssi designated areas? should know myself, but been out of the teaching loop for 3 months regards Dave

Hi Mr redkite, is there any chance that you could give me a quote for loler checking Riseholmes climbing kit? since i have been away the last certificate has expired and i'm keen to renew asap. Hope you are well and have not suffered adversely from your introduction into the crazy world of mainstream teaching. Best wishes Dave (the old duffer).
