Looks like Brown Tail moth caterpillar

All that money wasted, loss of habitats and massive loss of Ancient Woodland throughout the route to shave off 15 minutes travel to an overpriced shithole? Not massively impressed, no.

OK, if I may, as a Council TO and the person who runs the operational Arb Team, this is something that worries me. My first comment would be how do they get the time with all the day to day crap that comes in? I have a regular series of third party contractors that I call on for both Emergency out of hours work and 'bigger' contracts and I personally think that is an important part of what we do as a Local Authority - boosting local economy. In terms of budgets I am in the position of managing a tree team that needs new blood, owing to the age of my climbers and the wages we can offer most well trained ticketed experienced guys wont get out of bed for! Its easy to be critical of LA's and Councils but try working in one under the current restrictions and you may change your mind?

if you can use more invasive methods there is also drilling via micro drill, Restographs or the Sibtec Decay Detection drill/digital microbe.

The Law states that if you Intentionally or recklessly disturb any wild bird listed on Schedule 1 while it is nest building, or at a nest containing eggs or young, or disturb the dependent young of such a bird.

Apart from prosecute you under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 with amendments... The maximum penalty for each offence in the Magistrates' Court is a £5000 and/or six months imprisonment and a £5000 further for every egg destroyed.

Tree Removal - Owner is unwilling to pay anything towards the cost.
Anno replied to Smith126's topic in Trees and the Law
Any removal of the arisings without the owners consent could constitute an obscure form of theft known as 'conversion', unless the tree owner has a particular need for that material, it is unlikely they would make a complaint. It is, therefore, perfectly legitimate to return the arisings to the neighbour. The material must be returned in such a way as not to cause damage or injury to avoid being sued. In practical terms, it must be advised that dumping the arisings back with the tree owner, although perfectly legal, may not be regarded as a neighbourly act and could lead to disputes. In this situation I know what I would do... -

Anno replied to Smith126's topic in Trees and the Law
Leaving the arising is not ‘silly revenge’ it’s the correct way to do things legally, just like your Common Law Right to abate nuisance, the brash always stays with the owner, it’s his property wether he likes it or not. -

Is there a good clinometer app for measuring trees?
Anno replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
tried a few, all crap, get your hand in your pocket and grab a proper one. Some Laser Distance Measures will do height but it needs to be hitting a solid canopy, so rubbish on most Conifers and whippy stuff / Lion Tails that poor Arbs leave...
