Hi folks, I am looking for full-time tree work in London starting January 2013. I am a third of the way through a 12-week tree surgery course at Plumpton College, Sussex. By the end of the course I will have the following tickets: CS30/31, CS38, CS39, AO6, Brushwood chipper, NPTC MEWP and first aid. If all goes well then I will also be awarded a City and Guilds BTEC. I have a degree in Biology from Imperial College, specializing in ecology. I therefore have a pretty firm grasp on plant biology basics. Although I really enjoyed my biology degree, I decided that I wanted a more active, applied interaction with the natural world. After the first four weeks of this course, I am confident that I’ve made the right choice. I am very keen to start working, and use the skills that I am learning. Although I’ve spent three years sat in front of a computer screen, I am fit and healthy and more than capable of a hard days work. I would be more than willing to come down for an unpaid trial day(s) to prove my salt. In a perfect world I would like regular work with a small, professional arb. firm based in North London. I would like to work for someone from whom I can learn the basics of arboriculture on the job. Failing that, I would be happy with any full time tree work within London. Unfortunately I have just failed my first driving test, but will be retaking (and hopefully passing) it before Christmas. Please do get in touch if you have any questions. All the best, Rob Cullen 07986521230

Hello people. Im starting a tree surgery course at Plumpton College next month, and they have just sent me a list of PPE I need to buy. I'm London based at the moment, but havent been able to find anywhere local on google that stocks arb PPE. Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch, Rob

I am looking for unpaid arboriculture-related work experience in the London area. I have just finished a biology degree, but have no qualifications or experience in this area. Having said that, I am very interested in this sector, and am willing to be used and abused so long as I get a feel for what is involved. Cheers
