OK,
The Brits have a thread, the guys dominate the boards, so how many tree climbing, arboristic, chainsaw wielding, tree specialist women are there here?
I expect some corny remarks from the guys, but hey ladies, who's out there?
Do you experience any discrimination, or know you haven't gotten work because you're female? Is it even an issue? How do you manage the physical stresses and strains? (an hour at the spa does wonders!)
In Bermuda, there is lots of domestic work, sub tropical all kinds of species, everything from pruning prized fruit trees to reductions and takedowns of 50'-60' trees. Really tall (over 100') trees are rare here, they tend to be either norfolk pines or casuarinas. Bit of a role reversal, I climb, my hubby grounds for me. Gives a new meaning to who's on top:hmm3grin2orange:
