Does anybody have an AirSpade in the Greater Manchester area and would like to do some trial pits ?? DM me if interested

Sorry should have stated we are looking at this with our consultants specs on. We have identified site constraints with regard to fauna and flora and will recommend our thoughts on trees. I wouldn't recommend flattening the site due to adverse reaction from locals etc. Plus if the LA get wind of it, it is only likely to annoy them and we haven't worked hard to build up our reputation to have it tarred by something like this! If this is recommended it kind of makes a laughing stock of BS5837, one of our main guidance documents!

We have a few brownfield sites for a client where they want to clear the sites. Removing any trees and vegetation! There are no TPO's and they are not within a conservation area, is there anything to stop them doing this ! It just doesn't seem right ! Your thoughts will be much appreciated.

Wow, some responses on here! The tree really doesn't look to bad from the pics. If our surveyors recommended to clients to fell all sycamore trees with a union like that we would bankrupt huge amounts of companies. Have a local consultant inspect the tree, a consultant will give an unbiased view of the tree. I would love to here the results of a consultants recommendation if you get one, it shouldn't cost to much if you use a local one.

We have an opportunity to join us over the summer months. We are ideally looking for a university student to work over the summer months with potential to carry on whilst completing there studies. This is an ideal opportunity for a Myerscough College student studying arboriculture. The work is based in the Manchester & Lancashire region. Contact me for more details

Hi is anybody free to carryout a site survey in Belgravia, Westminster. Its only two trees in adjacent gardens and is to be to BS5837 standards. We also need some minor trenches excavating to assess the depth of the boundary walls, probably only 1-2 hrs work max. DM me if your interersted:thumbup:

We have been asked to tag 4600 trees, we have tried to advise against this but they are adamant they want it doing. My question is what is the best system for tagging trees, we need it to be fast. I was looking at these magazine and hammer combinations ! Does anybody use these ? Cheers

I am looking for an assistant tree surveyor, no experience necessary just need to be keen to learn. Would ideally suit someone based in the Manchester/Lancashire area. Part time and short term contracts available PM me your details and I will give you a call to have a chat

Pm sent

I know, things are also looking up for the future with all the youg local talent coming through the ranks, let's hope Mr Hemmings doesn't sell them at first sight of a quick profit ! Do you get on much ?

That's true, however you do have to be associated with possibly the most annoying and infuriating person on the planet ! Mr Wenger

Preston North End , a real team for real men really enjoying being relegated last season at the moment as it's great when you win every game

Hello all, Has anybody got any thoughts on the much talked about planning shakeup and the possible ramifications for trees within development sites ? Do you think it will affect businesses in our industry ? Cheers

Hello All, My Boss is currently looking for a QTRA licensed tree surveyor based in the North West. Position is flexible, full or part time on a temporary contract ! If you are that person or are interested please PM me

Your welcome to your opinion but I believe that she wouldn't of been there I it wasn't for the striking teachers ! You can't argue against that surely. Any incident that happened to any child that couldnt be in school on the day of the strike is due to the teachers !

Not having enough funds isn't a good enough argument....! Mid afternoon, no significant winds on a reasonably warm day after a few scorchers maybe it was summer branch drop and if so is there a negligence claim ? Thoughts go to the family etc As with the striking teachers that meant she wasn't in the place she should be I hope they are happy with there actions !

Hello all i have found this poplar today and i am a little confused by the possible defect. below are a few pics, there seems to be a ridge on the bark where the tree starts to lean and there also seems to be some reactive growth. Is this just a growth defect or something a little more sinister, thanks in advance for any replies
