<p>Hi David </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you for your reply. As you say and mention I do need more regular work am afraid. If I can find my way back to the area I will certainly give you a shout.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In terms of rates, in my view (and its just my view) your very competitive at those rates. Not being a climber I can't really speak on that side of things, however in terms of ground work I think for that price you would have a choice of many good lads. If someone is prepared to pay well you'll quickly build up a loyal base of people to call upon. As you know its a small world up there and word will soon spread.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope it all goes well and I'll let you know if I find my way back to the hills</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p> </p>

<p>At the moment I have the occasional day arb type and the odd few days forestry. Certainly not something that would really help with moving to back to the area. I'm really looking to expend the number of people I can call on for bits and pieces.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pay wise I think I'm on track to being fair. Thinking £110 ish for groundy. Forestry cutter between £110 and £125 depending on skill pace qualifications etc. Climbers £125 minimum depending on the day and what I can pass on. What do you think of those rates?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks David</p>

<p>Hi David</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I recently moved out of Penrith after studying forestry there and you would be interested in moving back to the area.</p>
<p>I've worked for ets and ewc as self employed and just wondered what kind of work your offering, pay and frequency of work you could offer. I've got a fair bit of experience from working with these two local companies so am not completely green. I have cs30, 31, 38, brushcutter ticket and f+ first aid along with saw and ppe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p> </p>

Hello all. I'm looking to relocate to back to York and so I'm looking to join a new gang in this area. I have cs30,31 & 38, brushcutter ticket, f+ first aid, ppe and saw. I've worked for a few years now doing various forestry and arb work so I'm not completely green to it. Also I have a degree in forestry and ND in forest and arb' so I understand a bit of the politics and logistics as such. If anyone knows of anything I'd be very grateful to hear, I'm open to various forms of tree work. Kind regards

A few goods one I have sat around the lounge 1 - rackhams woodland book will give you a insight to the history. 2 - the fc managing native and broadleaved woodlands is a good one for lowland forestry (ndg james has (had?) a little green book on woodland management that although brief was to the point on a fair few subjects but a tad dated now) 3 - the 'blue book' is a royal pain in the arse but if you can learn it you'll do well 4 - the tinterweb. search in the right places and you may find some good stuff 5 - the old skool. as them before they all die out. they know some good stuff only time and experience can teach you

Hello all I'm looking for ground based work around cumbria and the boarders. Maybe even further afield if the work is good or set up is good. I have 30,31 &38, brushcutter ticket, f+ first aid, clean crb and driving licence. Own saw, ppe & can get a car. If anyone knows of anything or has anything let me know. Any work with accommodation would also be beneficial until I get myself sorted. Cheers guys

Good afternoon all I was hoping for some advice or direction if any one has any suggestions. Having just finished a bsc in forestry (& having a level 3 already in arb and forestry), I am now interested in continuing my personal development in terms of personal knowledge. So I'm interested in taking a online course in either a tree (or forestry) related context or a slightly wider context on the sense of the natural environment and ecosystems. If any one has a suggestion on possible courses I would very much like to hear it, along with any own personal experience (if any). Cheers

Hello all Firstly forgive me for starting yet another down under thread. Straight to the point I'm looking to try out ideally New Zealand and or maybe Australia. Although there seems to be plenty of jobs for climbers out on the various websites I am not looking for a climbing job. Ideally I'd like to move in to a surveying role on row and powerlines, although am open to ideas or suggestions. If anyone has any interesting points of view or directions it would be very much appreciated. I'm qualified with a degree in forestry, have various cs tickets, a clean crb and driving licence. Cheers guys
