Arborists, what's wrong with this picture?

Ekka · 22nd May 2007, 08:41 PM

Have a look and let me know, I was thinking of advertising this method and cleaning up in this town ... people are "Q'ing" up for this, they love it.

Many times they say it had to be done, coz the tree was dangerous.

Dunno. I have been driving past these trees for 15 years and never seen anything dangerous but then again, I didn't pull over to inspect and analyse like a paid consultant should.

Anyway, let me know, do you think I could use them as a huge billboard like they are now, tens of thousands of people go past this busy place a day, right opposite a shop entrance and on a bad set of lights that most people catch red.

Thats a bloody disgrace

Blatant Negligence.

I'd hate to go to that place as a patient.

How thourough is their diagnosis going to be?
How drastic and harmful is their treatment going to be?
What effect will it have on my long term health?
Will the treatment be more harmfull than the percieved initial problem?

Hey they did leave some foliage on the trees give them some credit around here they don t even do that . [Those tree look like hell] .

Mate that is absolutely bullshit treework, that reflects back on us to the standard type of Arborists. The blokes that did that need to be shot.

I have those photos of that gum I was telling you about. Its a Eucalyptus resinifera - Red Mahogany. I took the photos at night on my way to tafe so bear with me for the quality. This kind of thing is happening every down here and I'm not talking private land its on blood friggin council land! And they're getting away with it because they are the authority body.

Ekka · 24th May 2007, 01:43 AM

Righto, I'm gonna email that dumb ass council.

Guys, how about we also send these to Kurt at Arbor Age, lets have a huge dummy spit. The govt is out of control (but I've known that for years).

a_lopa · 24th May 2007, 02:11 AM

Yeah they should know better.

Tree Machine · 24th May 2007, 05:08 AM

This may be a really stupid question, but its there ANY benefit or advantage to anyone or anything by mutilating trees in such a way.

We need a council that oversees, hunts down and generously offers a fair resolution to what's been done...."Your balls, or your bucket truck."

I think they would get it.

TrevMcRev · 24th May 2007, 05:11 AM

Down here it'll still happen on private property but i cant say ive seen this sort of crap going on on council/government land.

It is crap, and the chase is on for answers. So far now I have the guys name who was responsible for co-ordinating the job from Q-Build. He hasn't returned my call yet so again today I will try. Then I'll also write to the local BCC councillor for the area showing the inadequacies of their local law on vegetation protection and the typical type of pruning performed by contractors.

No escape on this one. Most important is to find out what company did it, that is vital.
