Having published the peer reviewed ‘Quantified Tree Risk Assessment‘ method in 2005, he has trained more than 2000 arborists and tree managers in its application and has spoken on the topics of ‘tree-failure risk’ and ‘tree stability’ at conferences around the world.
In 2004, Mike was made an honourary life member of the International Society of Arboriculture for his contribution to the field of tree risk assessment and in 2005 was presented with the Arboricultural Associations annual award for services to arboriculture.
Mike’s current focus is on managing safety from falling trees, but his expertise extends across a wide range of tree management specialisms and he has provided expert evidence in both the criminal and civil courts.
With a background in arboricultural contracting, Glyn moved into the public sector in 1991. He joined Cheshire Woodlands from Macclesfield Borough Council in 2004 after thirteen years as a local government arboricultural officer and became a partner in 2009.
During his time at Macclesfield Borough Council, Glyn was instrumental in developing the Council’s supplementary planning guidance (SPG) ‘Trees and Development’, which was first published in 1997 and quickly became a model template for trees and development SPGs across the country.
Glyn has presented training to his peers and fellow professionals on the topics of ‘Trees and Development’ and ‘Making and Reviewing Tree Preservation Orders’. Since 2009, he has been visiting lecturer on The University of Central Lancashire MSc. Arboriculture course.
Through his knowledge of the planning system in relation to development and tree preservation orders, Glyn has developed a loyal client base who benefit from his broad knowledge and experience.
Having first qualified in Arboriculture and Countryside Management at Myerscough College in Lancashire, in 2017, Tom graduated the University of Bangor with a Forestry BSc (Hons) degree.
