LA TPO apps to themselves must be quite rare I'd have thought? Not really. I don't know, but would a visual inspection be classed as fulfilling their duty of care? I would have thought so - what else would they do? As an LA TO we have no access to technology and a massive amount of trees to manage.

I wonder if anyone can assist/give me some advice, I currently use a MEWP for the Tree Team and in a past life also did a MEWP Course, however I keep coming across conflicting information regarding their safe use and any current best practice / legislation. I have the ARB Association Booklet from 2005 and a copy of the Tree Work at Height Code of Practice from 2015 - is there anything else that would be of use to clear up a few points regarding current thoughts?

put your head in it a smell - if it stinks crack on!

Thanks TGB, very frustrating... Hi Ste, out of Lowerhouse Lane depot, checking CCTV footage to try to track as you know it is a prime spot for Motorways and nearby towns/sites. Went on Friday night, presumably made invisible as our 24 Hour Security failed to notice!!

surely its a Planning Function within the LA?

In my world as a Tree Officer, we publish online the full TPO list with mapping provided - its easier and means less phone calls. We can then get back to juggling 15 plates at the same time...

Ent? Looks that way...

most social (antisocial!) insects align with the 4 year boom and bust cycle and build up numbers annually in sync At this point they are unable to get all their protein from scavenging and turn to sweet things - ice cream,sweets and other goodies (like my cold Stella in the garden!!) Hornets are different beasts very much like Shires look the part but placid and tolerant of us, I have never failed to be near a nest when holidaying in Normandy and none of the 10 plus party has ever been stung!

Have you all read the Notes provided? Having had access to the full PHD I can assure you that the process and scope of knowledge gathering that Dr Slater has taken on, over 7 years has been vigorous and checked by peer review. It’s great to see that there is still scope to learn more about trees, even beyond the pioneers like Mattheck and Shigo, surely anything that expands our knowledge is a massive bonus? I attended the Myerscough day and there were many opportunities to raise any issues or seek clarification, I can't remember many problem being raised...
-
Agreed, took two other staff members with me yesterday - excellent and much food for thought,tilting at the Windmills of Shigo and Mattheck!!
-
Are there any papers or technical studies around about this, I have a team who are good but getting long in the tooth and at some point they will need to be replaced, but you only need to attend a woodfair with a climbing competition to know that age is no barrier! Just curios to see if any studies have been made...
-
all the probes I've seen/used are rubbish - they bend for fun!! As a birder I prefer decent binoculars but a Monocular is as good usually and cheaper. PTI Course I did we had access to kit and shared with others...

Look like Greater Horseshoe, smart!
-
Cheers gentlemen - food for thought (liking that Husky...)
