[CANUFNET] Private Tree Protection

[Jack Radecki]

Indeed the 10th edition is problematic. There has been a second revision or
edition and now it is my understanding that some of the work sheets have
been corrected and need to be downloaded.
I will not use it till it is right.

One day after I said TFM is obsolete and replaced by TFT I see this website:
https://10thguideforplantappraisal.info/

A summary paragraph:

The summary position of this group is:

The undersigned individual plant appraisal practitioners do not accept the
10th Edition, in its 2020 form, as a generally accepted[1], complete[2], or
exclusive[3] expression of best practice in plant appraisal."



[1] 10th Ed. is not generally accepted. General acceptance is created
through extensive experience and use.  General acceptance is not created by
mere publication of new and untested methods and techniques. General
acceptance is not created by fiat.

[2] 10th Ed. is not a complete expression of practice or best practice and
is inadequate, by itself, to guide practice.

[3] 10th Ed. is not an expression of practice or best practice to the
exclusion of any other practice guidance.

Something to think about if you are doing Tree Appraisal
