Hi, was needing some advice. I've in tree work for about 10 years now. Besides basic tree inspection I don't have any formal qualifications, I'm at the point now where I'm often being asked for surveys which I'm not qualified to do. So being based in east anglia I wanted to know A: What are the proper courses to take. B: Where could I go to begin the necessary courses? Thanks

The irony of tree surgeons complaining about not being able to spend their undeclared income

I have a leaky hydraulic tank on my st6p, looks like the gasket has perished and come apart. Anyone has this and where to get a replacement from? Is it part offered by Forst? Cheers

Who's supportive of it??

Wasn't exactly offensive what he said, just simply expressing an opinion which you're seemingly not allowed to have in England anymore. No establishment just hits you with fascism they slowly integrate it...

How awful, grateful my hydraulic powered grinder shuts off the moment I let go of the joystick. Probably saves me doing something daft...

I suffered a brake in back in September and consequently wound down the business. Before hand I looked to see if I could replace what was taken but there was hardly anything... No Husqvarna battery tools. No Blowers nothing..

I have a woodland mills fp160. I charge £300 with myself operating.

I recently stepped down from a job as the client wasn't prepared to wait for a felling license, another contractor trashed a stretch of woodland much to the anger of the residents that lived along the other side of the road. Someone had contacted the FC to only to be informed a few days later that they had obtained a felling license.. Didn't realise one could be obtained within the space of a week lol

After speaking to someone from the FC I'll be applying for a thin, it's less than 30% of the trees in the woodland. No need for a restocking either. It will benefit the smaller trees beneath the canopies of the sycamores- yew/beech etc. It sounds like regardless of the trees being in a conservation area and permission being granted by LPA it seems just to be down to volume of timber that requires the license.

I don't really want to do it gradually I'd rather just get the permission. I think there's about 5 cbm there and that's where I'm stopping.

I know I've been over all of this with her, it is somewhat of an extreme reaction to take them all down. The surrounding woodland area is dense with Beech yew and ash and maple so they're unlikely to be missed on the landscape, point being that we're on the 5cbm limit for this quarter so without a felling license I don't believe we can proceed....

No it’s the surrounding land around the paddocks so definately not the garden. I’ve taken about 5cbm down already and stopped as I thought it was an ongoing project but the client is now wanting them all down due to her horses but I won’t proceed without getting official go ahead

Hi, I got consent in a conservation area to fell close to 50 sycamore trees surrounding paddock land for horses. I've done planning and got permission from the LPA, I'm putting the brakes on mainly due to weather but think I better apply for a felling license too. Not sure if I require this alongside permission from LPA. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
