Broken/Special:Badtitle/NS100:JamesMoore/Nine Forestry Experts Ignore Request For Tree Assessment
What happened...
<summary>On the 29th August 2011 I wrote an e-mail to these 9 organisations and academics requesting an assessment of the tree in the photo below and received zero responses. Make of it what you will; ignorance of the unknown, fear of ridicule, fear of time wasting, fear of loss of employment, fear of loss of funding etc. but its a little disappointing that they didn't even have the courtesy to even respond and decline my request. Would I need to pay some forestry expert to comment on this photograph? If I did then what would that then say about the honesty of their paid-opinion? Do I need to rephrase my request? Can you help me get some honest answers? Can you ask some experts in your country, please? Maybe you'll have more success than I...</summary>
