Best management Practices PDF

[bomar]

does anybody have a PDF of The Best management practices - utility pruning or best management practices - Tree pruning They are bolth Anzi A300 companion booklets

 

[Jason Douglas]

Go to Gilman's section on the IFAS University of Florida website. He basically reproduced the pruning bmp (which he wrote) free of charge there. You'll have to download eat section separately but it's all there.

He has a lot of other very useful pdf and power point resources there too. Well worth your time to go through them all.

thanks man i just need it for a study guide for my utility specialist I.S.A exam. So this guys version is basically structured the same as the BMP just reworded and revised a bit

 

[Jason Douglas]

Yeah he wrote both. Just take your time downloading each pruning pdf from the site. Staple together and yer good to go.

cool I got it printed it. off topic a little I see you are a BCMA how hard is that test compared to the CA and what study material did you use and how long did you study for it

 

[Jason Douglas]

It's significantly more difficult. Hypothetically, one starts studying for it the day after becoming a CA. The recommended study materials are extensive and listed on the ISA site. One doesnt necessarily have to own them all if your patient enough to research all the topics from the exam outline.

"Arboriculture" by Harris, Clark, and Matheny is a must have.
All the ANSIs and BMPs, TRAQ book, etc.

I studied like a demon for four months. Every night.
