Not Arb related (much) but looking for a bit of advice. So I've got a dentist appointment on Thursday at midday for a filling. I've not had a filling for a few years so can't quite remember what it's like apart from it being numb at. Should/can I go back to work in the afternoon after the filling or would anyone advice against it? Any advice is appreciated, cheers troops and happy new year

Hi, I am currently doing a school project in which we have to choose a patch of land, and design and create a hypothetical woodland scheme. For part of this, we have to identify the trees/shrubs around the perimeter of the field. If you could help with this, it would be much appreciated. Apologies the pictures are not very clear, and I am aware there may be multiple pictures of the same species. Thank you.

Hey guys I'm hoping you can clear something up for me info wise that I am struggling to find anything on. I work in a Zoo / i'm in charge of browse collection for large mammals. Due to general bureaucratic issues with management who have little to no Arb knowledge, I am restricted to using a powered pole saw or in layman's terms a chainsaw on a stick (hah) and have to do any pruning from the ground. Recently i've butted heads with the site health and safety officer over PPE requirements in order to use the equipment in a public space following a complaint from a visitor that I wasn't wearing chainsaw pants... Now after 3years studying Arboriculture and a good 6 years in the Arb industry I have never come across any requirement under the UK HSE that chainsaw pants are needed in order to use a pole saw. I have contacted HSE for clarification as there isn't an available AFAG leaflet I can find on the equipment and HSE merely deflected my query to OSCHR who ... well ...there isn't a consultant in my postcode and their website forms and contact email addresses don't work. I'm at a dead end. Is there anyone who can clarify for me please the minimum PPE requirements for using a powered pole pruner and if possible if you have any link to ANYWHERE I can use as evidence to provide to my H&S officer it would be a massive help. I'm more under the assumption that the H&S officer can't find this info herself either so she's being difficult and using the situation as an excuse to make me do her job for her but for the sake of nutritional demand for the hoofstock, I really need to clear this situation up ASAP. Massive thanks in advance to anyone who is able to assist me please. Thank you.
