So... Any acorns there?

Yep. Army Peltor Ebay Tenner. Whats not to like!

Much will depend on how much light is getting through; which in turn will depend on the nature and density of the trees. If there is an enclosed canopy you are looking at a sparse herb layer with sporadic bramble but if it is more open you are maybe looking at grassy rides. With either, if you have one, a tractor mower is ideal: low enough to keep down the ground cover bramble but high enough to allow herbaceous to prosper. Sounds like you might be in a position to create some of each. Cowslips bluebells etc on a sparse woodland floor would have to be watched out for and let go to seed if you want them to spread and prosper whilst your grassy rides would be managed for a richer flora and butterflies, dragonflies skipper darters and hawkers as above. Woodland and grassland seed mixes can be had on ebay or other and can give a jump start to new but neglected sites that might lack the dormant seed reserve of older sites. Coupla things. Again depending on your kit; the oregon mulcherbrushcutter head is fantastic for doing bramble with - obvs depending on the size of your operation; and if you leave a thick tot of bramble in well lit situations - around the woodland edges or alongside the rides - and keep it compact with a long arm hedge-cutter - to cut back the whips - the current years growth - to encourage it to thicken up and not become straggly you might find it becomes a nesting site for the summer visitors - nightingales, blackcaps, whitethroats and the warblers. Someone mentioned rhody. I have heard that if it is sprayed over in autumn with some extra strength glyphosate - rosate 36 or other - that by the next year it will looking a bit poorly; very poorly; in fact... dead. But who would do a thing like that huh? For larger clumps - and laurel too cut down to the stump and spray the re-growth in a year's time. And keep a notebook - a daily diary and write down what you did, when you did it, how you did it and why. And take lots of photographs too. Sounds like fun: good luck.

RTFT!

Now with music. :)

And when the whole country is shouting, "KILL, KILL, I WANNA KILL, WOMEN AND BABIES AND GERMANS AN ANYONE ELSE WHO LOOKS A BIT DIFFERENT" it takes an incredibly brave person to stand up and say, "No. This is wrong."

Yep log piles are the business and anyone who knows what they're talking about gives top points for having one. Stag beetle numbers have dropped by 90% over recent years and mostly because they spend most of their life in the larval stage in rotting wood and too much rotting wood has been tidied up off the forest floor. I moved one back a bit recently as it had been stacked by the side of a pond-side path and we wanted to enbigenate the path. Slow worms and newts is what we found. I was once sitting having a bite and a cup of tea when I saw a stag beetle fly in low and crash into an oak tree right by where I was sitting. That's odd I thought; y'don't see that everyday. Anyway the stag beetle got up and crashed back into the tree again and again and then down into the leaf litter. And there was the explanation: A female stag beetle up for a bit of action! There was a lipstick like projection out from the back of her abdomen which I imagine was wafting get-it-here pheromones on the breeze - single molecules - and the male stag beetle followed the trail up wind and was guided purely by receptors rather than sight. Someone came along to help recently. Yep. The first thing they did was burn up all my old log piles and all my stag beetle larvae cos they thought they looked untidy. tldr: log piles good cos stag beetles. Happy Days Yourn

Yebbut everyone knows that one!

Bugger head! Beat me to it

Well, in the first instance it a cedar, a true cedar, a cedrus and not one of many others that are called cedar but aren't. Secondly it's an atlas cedar cedrus atlantica - maybe. altlantic ascend deodar descend; your pic shows ascending but they could be a bit descendy as well so difficult to call it. atlas are also available in blue and gold varieties.

Just a passing thought; not my field of expertise at all; but might help. My PLI doesn't cover me for chainsaw work; which is not a problem as I don't do chainsaw work for my customers. So check that you are covered for chainsaw work on you PLI before you need to rely on it. And also check that if chainsaw work is included, that some form of certificate of competency isn't required to validate the cover.

Goodness me treefancier. If only you and your instructor had been there huh? Just think of all the lives you could have saved.

Here's another one. From here Explainorizationator here The smaller and more worthless the peeve, the more satisfying it is when spotted. Happy days!

They are! I got the ten watt one as an emergency torch to keep in the car. Buggers yer night vision; but you can't half see what your doing. ETA: ISWYDT

... and which half of the employer/ employee partnership would it suit most? Hmmm. Give me a minute here. That's a tricky one.

Yes let's. No paid holiday like a proper employee, no N.I. contributions from the employer, no legal representation in case of accident or illness in fact no responsibility to the employee whatsoever. Just be glad you've got a job there, and stop complaining. Welcome to the fourteenth century.

Was walking down a lane one time, looking at the hedge alongside the road. Only a bloody hornbeam wan't there. That was well weird.

What like when she leant back and said you know how to whistle don't you, you just put your lips together and blow? Kids today blah blah blah. ETA Linky

Is the chap on the saw wearing a m/c crash helmet? Or is that just a style of hard-hat & visor? And to add to the list: the pull rope across the junction! What did they think would hap if a van chugged in?

Alder. No. Not a variety of beech.

I didn't say I was offended; I said I found it pathetic. Because it wasn't for the purpose of learning anything about what it is like to be trans; it was purely for the salacious titilation; the showing off in front of mates and the trying to big yourself up by putting others down. It's like a someone saying 'Sir, Sir, it says in the bible sir, that you should love your fellow man sir. Do you love your fellow man sir?' But on the first day at University! All I could see were the Memes of Picard one face-palming in utter disbelief, the other crying out in desperation, "Who put the 50p in the Idiot?" As the question was asked and the asker looked around for laughter and approval from his class-mates, all was quiet, just the sound of a lone cricket that didn't get the memo. A tumble-weed blew across the scene and everyone just shook their head in utter, utter disbelief.

Yes! Really.

Pathetic. Utterly pathetic.
