present

A series of training
as detailed
 

 
  Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA) is a probabilistic system of assessing the risk of harm from tree failure and is becoming increasingly accepted as the way forward for tree safety management in the United Kingdom. The system provides a robust method for the assessment of tree safety on all land use types and can result in substantially reduced levels of both tree inspections and the remedial felling and pruning of trees.

Veteranisation Course

National Trust

Hatfield Forest
 

  Managing for deadwood habitat in living trees - a comprehensive one day course designed for countryside managers, rangers, arborists and advisors.

The course is designed to complement the already popular Veteran Tree Management course run at Hatfield Forest.  It is the ideal setting, with a long history of managing veteran trees and 'bridging the age gap' between these and the new generation of young pollards.  The course will take you through the theory as well as the practical techniques to encourage faster development of habitat in younger trees.  There will be a practical demonstration of pioneering work using explosives.

Tuesday 13th November 09:00 - 16:00   Call 01279 870 678 for details.
