Could try Amey, I think they have the Birmingham tree maintenance contract.

Markings are required for working on high speed roads (over 50mph)

Section 05.2 Conspicuity

Any decent local fencing supplier....

id say remove and be done with as they are not exactly prize trees, and are near the public.

just my thoughts .

Me too, seems a waste of resources inspecting monthly....

Birch never look good reduced. JLA arborists photo demonstrates that.

Funny but true

The only arb employment agencies I know are:

Matt at TreeBear and Bruce at CTCRecruitment

15 years ago back in Cumbria it was £20/day, pub lunch + a brace of pheasant

Agree with Coprinus, deadwood saprophyte.

Looks like Laetiporus sulphureus to me - Chicken of the woods

You do NOT need permission but you DO need to notify the council with a 211 notice if it is above the 75mm DBH

 

Exceptions relating to section 211 notices | Planning Practice Guidance

possibly Grifola frondosa

DLO Chargehand left a husky 560 on site yesterday.

He only discovered this morning that it was gone.

Suitable punishment?

Looking at written warning.

If it was a small firm he'd be paying for the replacement saw but we're ex Council DLO and his TUPE T&C's don't include the cost of replacing lost kit.

BBC London interviewed him the other week.

Incredible that they may promote such a disregard for public safety.

No fall arrest system.

No pedestrian exclusion zone

accident waiting to happen

It all sounds fine to me. Next planting season will certainly be acceptable.

Perhaps include beating up along the lines of 'any whip failing to establish after two years will be replaced like for like in the next available planting season' ...just a thought

Hi Paul,

We've always got trees you could test in Harlow.

Are you only wanting trees with signs of decay/disfunction?

Greatest benefits: portable data storage, speed of data entry, retrievable data

Paper gets wet and blows away and is too bulky.

Useful application in stock inventory, condition surveying & planning

Dynamic link between map & database

Digital mapping provides accessible shareable visual data

Dead reckoning is more accurate than GPS in the urban environment, GPS is better in woodland.

Happy to write more if you have further Q's

AirBnB

Couchsurfing

Sorry can't be more help

Sorry to hear about the theft , I've circulated your post to the Essex Tree & Landscape Officers Group ETALOG

second stab on account of black bits....Alder....

As 10 Bears said, you're bound to get different opinions....here's my tupenn'orth...

Removing the bark has revealed a larger area of exposed sapwood.

The white deposit you see is the mycellium of the fungi, check for fruiting bodies -brackets/toadstools in the Autumn. ID the fungus, check the implications for the tree.

Don't use any form of chemical control, as we don't fully understand the implications of the tree/fungi relationship.

Continue to monitor the exposed area for signs of decay, monitor the crown for signs of decline.

If crown decline or basal decay becomes significant, fell the tree.

Pussy willow?

The decay appears to be localised.

Monitor the area of concern, prod around with a probe and if the decay begins to approach one third of the circumference of the trunk, consider reducing the crown or removing the tree.

Get at least three quotes before employing an arborist.

Getting the £100 Hero this week

If i like it and use it I may upgrade in years to come or once the lens gets scratched

one day i am going to need to buy another helmet anyway. Im of the view buy good buy once.

 

Thoughts, opinions please?

Ideally you'll replace your helmet every 3 years

Reshape, rebalance crown, come back again in 3 years, repeat ad nauseam, quids in.
