  1. 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...
  2. check Myerscough,they do a number of online awards
  3. nice to know fellow members are progtastic - not arf!!! King Crimson 'Red' as we speak!
  4. Better get back to that assignment...
  5. 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!
  6. 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!
  7. If only you knew the half of it...
  8. 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!
  9. I know its not strictly on living wood but could somebody confirm Gloeophyllum sepiarium?
  10. Anno

    Gloeophyllum sepiarium?

  11. 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...)
  12. 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...
  13. crap English is an option - that should be 'minimum'!
  14. the minimal per Module is around 12 Learning Hours.
  15. tell him you'll get round to it but will need a Frugel Spoon and a Bison Wrench...
  16. Anyone delivering this training at the moment? Would be good if it were 'up North...'
  17. Its Araneus diadematus the Garden Cross spider very common and variable in colour - they can be black,red and lighter colours too!
  18. Just got confirmation that I am on the course - happy days! (I think )
  19. Hi all thanks for getting back, I am in the middle of Liverpool/Manchester in a remote fishing village called Widnes...so wouldnt relish the thought of travelling to a Treelife Centre every few weeks. Have looked at the Myerscough FDSC but would be going over substancial old ground (maybe not a bad thing I agree!) OK stuff to chew over there, ta guys!
  20. Eh up lad - how ya doing? Will get in touch soon! Heard good things about Treelife and sent them an email earlier...
  21. Can anyone give me some advice please I have recently started working as the Tree Officer for our Local Council, I have a background in Ecology and Further Education – teaching RFS 2 and Countryside Management, however I need to update some skills and try to ‘catch up’ with current ARB practice and concerns. I have been looking at accessing a Tech Cert Course, however I am informed that this was superseded by the current Level 4 award, I am based in Northern England and I am struggling to find a College that delivers this award,preferably Distance/Online - any ideas? great Board by the way!
