TREES: THE KEY TO CLIMATE PROOFING OUR CITIES- London, 10th July 2008.
A 10% increase in urban tree cover could neutralise rising city
temperatures, but large trees with irreplaceable climate-control benefits
are being lost at an alarming rate. This pioneering conference explores
practical possibilities to reverse tree loss within current planning
framework. It can be done: our objective is to define how to do it. FINAL

Thank you for the above link David ... It was very helpful.
I'm sure you may remember my views that the arboricultural industry
should not be responsible for the above BS in its current proposed form
... We should of course contribute to the technical elements and, this
is strongly borne out by the complexities raised by the HSE and RRAC. I
fully endorse the comments of the RRAC.
I think that the arb' profession should completely re-think the BS to
the point that it provides guidance to set the standards for
professionals when, and only once engaged in inspecting trees, following
a request to do so and, not attempt to set out when a landowner should
inspect. This would then meet the needs of setting the professional
standards and not apply to tree owners as laymen.
A BS should not try to legislate it should set the standards within a
profession to benefit the public at large, not regulate the public.
Ron.
