Talking about differences between NVQ /National Certificate and RFS also delivered Countryside Management. The distinction is usually how much is assumed and drip fed, as opposed to a rational thought process - who can solve and rationalise quite complex scenarios and problems.

in my experience Level 2 is fell that tree safely,level 3 is why did you fell, and show your RAMS and how will you dispose of the arisings?

As somebody who deals with this day in and out I would knock back the app and ask for further detail to include all specifications. The current guidance is not to give percentages (which are ambiguous at best) but to provide measurement from lateral branches – ie how short from the crown it is intended to cut. We can also ask for cut diameter in relation to branches/extension growth pruning.

Usual method,hit the books - Collins photo guide,Roger Phillips,Guy Watsons Arb Fungi book and the Arbtalk app!

Great,we had diagnosed that but thanks for confirmation!

Found on a mature Sugar Maple with some dubious past management... any ideas?

Do a search for a local free-lance Ecologist, the good ones welcome an extra pair of hands,especially with climbing experience. You need to be out there doing it,I am out 2/3 times a week,dawn and dusk in the season but around the Cheshire/North West area,hope you get sorted and definitely encourage you to keep trying!

halfway through the Foundation Degree online at Myerscough, I normally do a week night and a Weekend day for all study/assignments etc,however prior to Christmas this really bit me in the A$%£ and my results suffered. Also have 30 odd years experience mostly in Ecology to draw on so don't under estimate the commitment...
-
check Myerscough,they do a number of online awards
-
nice to know fellow members are progtastic - not arf!!! King Crimson 'Red' as we speak!
-
Better get back to that assignment...

Just to add my two penneth agree with all so far,I am in the second year also and as well as a full time job,playing in a band and acquiring three grandchildren I have at least one full week night and a weekend day working,there is also lots of background reading to do and I have 30 years Eco/environmental knowledge to draw on... Don't enter into it lightly,but when you do achieve you will have earned it!

Sexton Beetles are cool,good sense of smell and an ability to reduce tissue and bone and drag down the rest of the corpse underground to lay their eggs in so youngsters have munchies when hatched!

If only you knew the half of it...

In a Birdhide on a LNR and wedged into the Timber so no smell no upper colouration available - and no spores, hence it proving a challenge!

I know its not strictly on living wood but could somebody confirm Gloeophyllum sepiarium?

Had 2 Partners after a mates Berlingo impressed me one holiday, good reliable motor, I had the Deisel 2Litre so nippy as, also good for kipping in and other amusements! (not with my back these days...)

spend a lot of time in Spain (great Birds!) but tend to put the blinkers on tree wise - lots of Eucalyptus and tall standing road trees, some superb town planting but on the whole from what Ive seen - the question how do they manage is simple - they don't! Also the economy fell out of its arse in the 80/90's bad deals and too many golf courses,it could get quite depressing...
