Do you get hacks still is the question?
Hell yeah

There are some extremely dodgy types around who 'flat-top' trees, but in Auckland at least the general public is getting pretty educated about correct tree care.

Trouble is, arborist's reports cost so much that dodgy developers will cut a tree down sooner than pay for the report that they need to get council consent!

And yeah, I like beer. Only I can't drink it like I used to (hurts too much)

I'm quite keen on the idea of recreational tree climbing - think it could still develop as a pastime / sport in places like NZ and Oz

Ekka, had your kids climbing trees yet?
