Hi all Just wondering if there's any one on here or if you can recommend any one to do bat survey for a barn conversion planning application please? Location would be near Stoke on Trent Thanks

Its definitely worth reporting, and if you can get photo evidence to support it even better, you could also report to RSPB I never used to report stuff like this but in recent years I do, as I work on the theory that we have to comply with law, so should they

Tree inspection- insurance wants a "qualified tree surgeon"
tree77 replied to Paddy1000111's topic in Trees and the Law
Tree mortgage reports are fairly straightforward, site map with trees plotted, tree details/distance from building etc, soil type base upon the British geographical maps, any previous history relating to property/damage. Lots of cavats of whats not included,covered. Just make sure you indemnity insurance covers you. -
I've seen lot like this, never known fully the course but generally they continue to decline and we remove the tree.

Wood_decay_under_the_microscope - Francis Schwarze
tree77 replied to Tommy Hutchinson's topic in Ecology
Hi All Just looking back at previous posts as I'm interested in looking at various wood/fungi samples under a microscope. I tried a few years ago but with out much look. Think the problem was that I wasn't slicing thin enough. What I was hoping to do, is to take some core samples at look at them I have a old but reasonable microscope like the one in the pic, is it worth trying some polarising lens, or is it over complicating thing. Not had much look with taking photos yet either -
a sunnto clinometer is fairly cheap and easy to use

OK great thanks.

From what I remember there wasn't any misleading questions and it was all covered on the training beforehand. Just make notes in the workbook provided and highlight sections that the trainer says might be in test. The disease ident is straight forward as its open book. Sure you will be fine

what area is the work in please?
-
From memory, before WPD took over, working for Central Networks it was only 2m on 11kv. But they distances are the safety/vicinity zones, within that there's the live zone. Safety distances are there for a reason, and unfortunately we all estimate distance differently so better to be safe than sorry. The starting point should be using proximity zone 1 and 2 which is what NPTC use (exception of UA's) and than take advice from network operator.

Otiss software is ok for condition surveys. I have used it for 5837, seemed limited on what you can do

Arb Student, identifying Fungus and health and safety implications
tree77 replied to Mazzoo's topic in Picture Forum
Yep looks ganoderma. Difficult to say cause of action but its not always a automatic fell, depends on extent of decay. We have many as highway trees, we try to retain as we can, we some times reduce the crown but that can make things worse. We do change our inspection regime to be more frequent. Unlikely to be unsafe to climb but again without seeing it hard to say. A photo showing the crown might be helpful to -
Luckily no,

So guessing no criminal proceeding from the HSe.

Reading though it, looks like there was errors/failings at a number of levels for surveyor upwards.
-
So presumably the HA will have to pay compensation now. Makes a interesting read though
-
Was a judgment made or is still ongoing

Try Google Street View, you might get lucky, but upto her the proof you have damaged it

Yes, completed L6 and then started theMSc online, as I don't have any other degree level qualifications it was a good stepping stone, nearly finished now. I haven't done this to earn more, though it would be nice. Its more for my own development and once completed it will help with becoming charted.
