Understanding Woodlands and Woodland Management

A Lantra accredited two-day course with a focus on small mixed and broadleaf woodlands. Set in the idyllic surroundings of Silk Wood Ancient Woodland. An essential course for woodland owners and those looking for a career start or move into woodland management/forestry. Learn the history of how woodlands evolved in the UK, how to identify trees and describe and assess woodlands, the threats to woodland and why it is important to actively manage woodlands, how to navigate the economics, regulations and policy of woodland management, and how to manage a woodland for resilience and social, environmental and economic benefits. 

Upon completion, learners will receive an official Lantra course attendance certificate. Also includes the following to take away in support of your woodland journey: detailed course booklet, comprehensive reading list, discount voucher on a future consultation appointment with the course provider.   

Some existing knowledge of trees and or woodland would be an advantage but is not essential. Learners will need to be able/comfortable with spending time outdoors in woodland for several hours at a time in varying weather conditions. This is more than just an introduction to woodland management; it’s a support package for your woodland journey and you will see a woodland through a different set of eyes.
