mon-fri: go to work, look at trees weekend: time to go look at some trees on holiday: let's look at those trees visiting friends: do you have any trees we can look at

@frankrennie @UllapoolB i bought my copy on the ferry

I hope you enjoy your visit. Others have told me that they have got their copy of the Galson book from @UllapoolB as they waited for the ferry. 😏

@MoldyBasil i love that cat

@krenitsele ahh i don't really do instagram, guess i am missing out on the meme fun

@krenitsele ahaha, wonderful. i want to make more arboriculture memes now. maybe we should start a hashtag

@MoldyBasil @krenitsele 😂😂 count me in

i made this meme inspired by @krenitsele

@JohnRowlands2 @fairlieman @krenitsele there is a time and a place for both practices

@fairlieman @MsTreeRa @krenitsele Fine line between topping and pollarding.

@fairlieman @krenitsele new version for you

@eleanormharris this thread articulates it really well - i remember also finding it a much more rewarding process than i expected - well done :)

@mariaelenactq matilda agrees, she says eat the rich and solidarity with all striking industries

@fido9000 @ArborAmelia @TheICF ooh, are you becoming a micfor?

Great to back in Edinburgh this week @TheICF and being part of the professional membership exams as an assessor. It is a privilege to be part of the process meeting some of the potential future professional members who are on their varied career pathways. #careers

@nevstokes @M_sideSchoolMus @CllrScottArthur aha, that is a much better idea than what i imagined, cheers

@MsTreeRa @M_sideSchoolMus @CllrScottArthur I’m assuming that this proposal is regarding the South Suburban Railway and not reverting the NEPN, etc. for example. The idea isn’t a new one: thinkscotland.org/2020/11/the-so…

@tomkimmerer @doterrascience doterra are a MLM with predatory and unethical marketing practices that ruin lives and should be illegal

@FlyingQuercus yeah, it's kinda self-deprecating. quite British i suppose

@MsTreeRa I agree. It also draws attention to the amount of already accumulated ado.

"And without further ado..." [Ado intensifies]

@DA_Anderson @CllrScottArthur @Holledge @andyheald @TreesforCities @EdinburghTrees @EdinburghTrams definitely not the highest number of trees per capita in the UK, our canopy cover is about 17% which isn't low but isn't high either. Edinburgh has about 712,000 trees and population of 548,000, compare with Milton Keynes which has half the people but over 20 million trees

BEST SEAT on the TRAM: Helsinki Line Number 6. See the trees! @andyheald @TreesforCities @EdinburghTrees @EdinburghTrams @MsTreeRa @DA_Anderson @CllrScottArthur

@Holledge @JackRMCaldwell @andyheald this sounds nice, the leaves do tend to be full of litter though, would be quite a filtering process. but keeping leaves on the site where they fell would definitely be good

@JackRMCaldwell I think leaves are/should be composted, rather than 'recycled' (!). Edinburgh parks could include composters. The resulting compost can be used to improve the earth in the parks. FYI @andyheald @MsTreeRa en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compost

Pilrig Park a bit less slippy now 🍂🍃 However it's frustrating unable to recycle leaves since I'd need a brown bin subscription - not ideal for those of us in flats! You can request CEC path clearances via edinburgh.gov.uk/report

@Holledge looks delicious and delightful

@MsTreeRa Beetroot, carrots and sugar snap peas (+ olive oil, yoghurt, garlic, thyme, parsley, tarragon, mayonnaise) — albeit with "young' turnips — is Nigel Slater's suggestion.

i'm taking suggestions for this monster turnip, thanks in advance

@cindyocolypse sounds fab, cheers!

@MsTreeRa Use some to mash with parsnips and celery root-similar to mashed potatoes except they are far less dense with more dynamic flavor.
