Hello all
As I am new to this site I hope that I am not breaking site rules or etiquette but just maybe what I am about to say could be of interest to some of you.
I can see from reading various posts that you all seem to be practical hands-on have a go woodland owner types but it occurs to me that even though this is the case, there must be times when the services of a fully trained experienced professional could come in really handy. About now I should imagine most of you are thinking 'here we go again just another contractor touting for work', in some respects you could be right but there is a difference between me and some contractors. Namely If I could I would do this type of work for free just for the pure enjoyment of doing it but like everyone else I have to make a living so I only charge the absolute bare minimum, I really do care about and am just as passionate about woodlands as you are and as I intend to specialize in the maintenance of small woods and am a sole trader I can keep my charges down to typically £50 per day. This I feel represents excellent value for money when you consider I have twenty five years experience, am educated to H N D level in conservation woodland industries/city & guilds level three in tree and woodland management, have all the necessary tickets for this type of work, includes all machinery use plus fuel and is based on a full eight hour day. Also as a matter of course I would be delighted to show/teach any aspect of what I am engaged in.
I wont bore everybody to death with a list of tasks I can undertake, in stead I shall simply say I have experience in a very wide range of woodland / estate maintenance tasks and would be more than happy to send any interested parties my C.V. or give them more information.
So if your woods are in the Cranbrook, Tenterden or Hawkhurst areas of Kent and you feel I could be of assistance. please get in touch.
