Great thread, only been in industry a few months but i'll add.. -Suddenly dropping logs/loads that your both carrying without any warning. -Clocking off after finish time while the rest of the gang clear the yard. (many hands .. light work...) -Throwing tools all over the bench and NOT in the toolbox atleast. -Mugs, cups, wrappers, bags, banana peels on tool bench... -Not reporting faulty equipment or vehicles because "If I don't report it, it's not my fault".

Great post. Used to work selling shoes and learned a lot about feet and how you should wear boots, spot on post. Feet are important

Love these stories guys. As an aspiring Arborist this is a great way to learn DONTs! Is there a thread for DOs? Thanksguys

Hi Folks! I am looking for Work Experience in any relevant role to Forest and Arboriculture. I am currently working on a Level 3 Course in Forestry and Arb at Reaseheath College. Woodland Management is my end goal in life. My mission is to become knowledgeable in the Arboriculture industry and gain all the skills and experience I can to try and bring some life back into the UKs woodland areas. From Monday 24/10/16 - Friday 28/10/16. Looking For: Tree Inspections Woodland Management Nursery Work / Tree Planting Groundwork Climbing I'm quite happy to get into anything related to Forestry and Arb. I don't drive but I can get a Train/Bus. I don't have any tickets yet. I don't expect money, I'm happy to volunteer to aquire skills and knowledge. I will NOT waste your time, I will pull my weight and gladly and enthusiastically attempt any task set. The date set is my half term at college, and I don't want to sit on my thumbs. I am 22 years old and I hold a serious attitude towards learning and I keep myself tidy and well managed. I am a sponge and I like to soak up Trees. I hate to be late, I will do my best and drag myself through thorn and bush to be on time. I currently have weekends and Mondays free, so if possible you could have me on those days on a regular/by needs basis if you like me. I have no industry experience, but have already learned a great deal from my amazing course lecturers, Alan Mottram and Leigh Crawley. If you are interested in having me work for you for a week, please Text me, Call me, or preferably EMAIL me. (If you are going to call me, please send a text beforehand letting me know, I tend to get a lot of calls from call centres and general nuisances!)
