  8. I've not personally done it but when i was doing my level 3 in arb and forestry the i had fellow learners on the tree's and timber city and guilds course it seen to be more groundy orientated but they still did there cs 38 and 39. As well it was what units they were enrolled on that guided they way they went really but seem to be good. On the other hand my old apprentice did a level two like your and was put on total useless unit and course's so all are'd say is make sure the course units and structure are going to be of real use to him or her and not what the collage find easy and cheap to run. hope this is some help

  10. Hi all, I run a local authority contract a lot street tree its good nice work but im just wondering does any one get the same as i do with people just completely ignoring all the safety measure you put in place signs, barriers, you est?

  11. I had this problem also have a young lad with me for about 5 month myself and other put a lot of time and effort into him and let him do the the good jobs not just being a chipper bitch. But he left about a month ago after becoming more and more unreliable witch again did cost us a lot of time and mess us around no end, its appeared that it was all just a bit to much hard work. I think that a lot not all young people just what to being doing what they view as the good jobs and don't realise that you have to have the experience and earn the right to do this.

  22. Hi I’m new to Arb talk but I think that’s it great being able to draw on personal knowledge and how you can help people and discus things so easily. I’m planning a small woodland coppice for fire wood for my own use I have a good arch to play with. I have a good understanding of coppicing but I’m really struggling about what to plant. I’m on the southern edge of Dartmoor with a relatively sheltered site, the soil in good maybe a bit on the wet side but nothing to bad. There’s lots of Oak, Ash, Sycamore of course, Hawthorn, Hazel and Beech growing around us with no problems. My first thought is to use local Ash witch I can grow from seed to save cost however with Chalara fraxinea knocking around I don’t want to loose my whole stock. I was going to put other species in to mix it up and hopefully create a nice little habitat for wildlife. But the most important thing is growing something I can coppice on a fairly short rotations that will provide good firewood. Can any one help? Cheers Dave
