Why is that even in there? When was the last time either one of those 3 did aerial rescue, rigging, complex tree climbing, large and hazardous tree felling etc? My goodness, we wonder why our profession treats us like some lawn man or gardener and here's our public face reinforcing that.

Now we need to think carefully of what 5 pics need to show. I think 1 of the picks has to be those large tree transplants Sean Freeman does. That my friend is more than a nurseryman planting a flower.
Pics I see needed.
Transplant
Pruning spurless at height (deadwooding maybe)
Removal with spurs
Crane/tower combo
Reports/assessments

Maybe over there but over here there's no multiple choice sit down test for an Arb qualification at all and BMCA might not stack against L5's and L6's here? who knows. The world is bigger than USA though.
Yes, great project, I think we should fix that place up.
