All arborists need to know the law the links have been highlighted by other posters All arborists need to do sweeps for birds and bats and other protected species the reason for this is obvious to see what is there This when recorded provides the proof that reasonable care was taken to prevent any breaches in law You then can demonstrate that you have not behaved recklessly this is how the law has been strengthen You do not need to be a ecologist This is best practice There is nothing wrong with doing your own sweeps its a risk assessment
-
If you can demonstrate your a professional and know what your looking use the right pro forms you can do your own sweeps I have lost a few when I was learning but I am winning now I opened my trap to help the poster other wise to you my non learned friend it would be no comment as you obviously know enough As a senior poster with so many comments I have would have hoped for more Shoot straight stay alive

You need to do a dawn and dusk survey or a ecologist to do it day before and day of felling if you find birds flying into the tree with nest making material don't fell Law has been beefed up to include recklessness ie if you don't do what I have explained and be able to prove your in the poo I do bird and bat sweeps as a pre curser to all tree work this so if I end up in court again I have my records and diary notes to **** their barristers over and claim costs Usually police wildlife officer who will try to prosecute but usually the council have gathered evidence if you do something wrong make a no comment statement and don't think helping them that they will be fair with you Wildlife crime is serious and the judiciary want to be scene to be holding up the European directives and habitat regs Hope this helps

British standards are a guide. They should never be anything more. BS5837 has caused more trees to be felled then any decay.This because to procure a survey costs more than often tree removal pre planning. Back to your point when i dig square holes to plant my trees I get all sorts of coments.|When I tell em that its to stop girdling roots no one believes me. Sometimes do it wrong is easier, does it matter on the majority of jobs. Its good your questoning but dont get hung up and purest. I hope this helps and stimulates your thoughts on a slightly differnet angle shoot straight stay alive

Leylandii to charcoal ? It is worth the time and money?
458 Lott replied to wrighttrees's topic in General chat
Hardwood for cooking Oils in the conifer taint the meat when cooking By all means use for yourself or for the forge But if you want sell a professional catering grade charcoal hardwood only Hope this helps as it appears that some of u don't understand the difference in the way trees seal out decay via compartmentalise and antitoxin oils Shoot straight stay alive -

My yards in Teignmouth may to sept will be making a kiln a week No bunny huggers or keep your views to yourself I dun enough fighting It's straight forward stuff Pm me if your serious
-
I make it in Devon Takes 48 hours Not cost effective unless u plan We chip anything upto 2.5 inches Anything above that that's straight is cut for charcoal and firewood We burn the bits we can't chop we don't use log splitters And roots go in the kilns Roots and big bits in middle as hottest part Only burn when weather dry rain cools kiln Wood needs to season for at least 6 months If u bring whisky saw and axe Do a days graft cutting for the kiln and i will teach u Only use hardwood or your customers won't come back Whisky is needed as there is much dust we prefer it to dust masks Shoot straight stay alive

A MOG and A Run in with VOSA !!!!
458 Lott replied to combined tree services's topic in Large equipment
UK legal precedent that ignorance of an offence is not a defence (it undoubtedly shows that you have been diligent and taken reasonable steps to act within the law, however). I dis agree with this statement. Under your human rights you have the right to a belief if you believe the iformation given to you then you are protected. to underpin this with the amount of legislation being passed these days it is very unlikely that one could keep up with new laws and coment upon them let alone judicaly challangeing them. hope this helps -

Did some felling in George Coles neighbours house a week a go it was bizarre we were stood on the road and George drove by in a green rover that looked like a jag with a trilby and camel coloured jacket. Made me feel old
-
The stalking directive is pretty good As with this one you need to cherry pick but the advice is always sound as stupid comments get corrected by senior members or legal heads
