What I think I will do is make a greater effort to actually meet with the Hospital Administrator, as things stand I don't even know if they recieved the original report. The grounds guys we saw when recording data for the AIA on the native tree (Lysiphyllum hookeri) said they knew nothing of the report..which doesn't mean much.
I would probably write 6 reports off my own bat during the year resulting from coming accross rubbish work like that at the hospital. Most 95% would go to council about trees they own and have done "work" to. I'm not shying away from your suggestion Eric, just that I have to take into consideration how it will impact on Steve's business. I need to ensure that the right people saw and read the report first...thats why I like email so much, I can send a report and tag the email so I know they opened it, then follow up with another...wish to discuss further, or expand on possible management options etc..get into a dialogue with people to help them better manage their trees. Media are never interested in anything except sensationalising things facts and details aren't their strong point.
Should add the three dead trees (another one that I didnt see or photograph but was lopped died) have been removed.so the hospital paid for the lopping, paid for the construction damage, then ran the great risk and liability with the dying trees, then paid for the now dead trees to be removed!
