About the
WTD
The
Woodland Training Division [WTD] was launched in Autumn 2000.
It has been created in response to the demand for information
and
training related to the management of small woodlands particularly of the type
most closely associated with farming.
We
have developed a range of courses designed to appeal to small woodland owners,
or those directly involved in working within small woodlands.
We also provide training for those aspiring to work in woods or with wood.
It
is intended by means of these courses to stimulate awareness of the value or
latent potential in underdeveloped and neglected woodland. We will also inform
our clients of the methods of evaluation, development and enhancement of the
woodland resource to improve and maximise the creation of a wide range of forest
products, by-products and services.
 
Our
courses would also be of value to those individuals
considering the establishment of such a resource, the careful planning of
which can markedly improve the long term benefits and returns.
We
have access to a range of advisors; specialists in a wide field of forestry
related disciplines, who we are able to call upon for specific advice.
