Back in June, Rachel went on her own Telehandler training course. Everyone thought she was mad, but she stuck to and after two days of training and the instructor pulling his hair out, he confirmed that she was a safe operator and had passed. Here’s the proof!
Rachel was lucky enough to get 40% funding towards the cost of this course from Farming Connect.
If you would like Telehandler training, please just get in touch
Winter work begins with Ash die back tree removal work starting tomorrow. Unfortunately the spread of Chalara (Ash die back) continues and more trees need to be removed for the safety of passers by. Luckily - this tree will be monitored for now.
Dai loves digging! Recently Dai and the team created a new access route into a Forest in South Wales.
We were asked to clear flood debris from a local river. This was a task we were dreading, but given time, patience and hard work from the team we had a great result!
