[CANUFNET] Private Tree Protection

[Michael Richardson]

Jack is correct that there is a new guide termed revised October 2020.  I
am not sure how it differs from the 1oth Edition, Second Printing.  As
seems usually ISA the copyright owner does not seem to go out of their way
to inform people.

If you are going to use the 10th you need to download a bunch of files to
help "update" it.  See: https://wwv.isa-arbor.com/store/product/4390

> [2] 10th Ed. is not a complete expression of practice or best practice and
