A Change of Plan – Field Weekend 2011

Due to the current situation in Wales in respect of the devastating Phytophthora diseases, which are affecting many woodlands in that part of the country, Woodland Heritage have decided that it would be prudent and responsible to postpone our visit to Wales to another year.

We realise that many of our members may be disappointed with the change of venue, but please rest assured that the decision has been made because we need to be sensitive to how the disease is spread. We would obviously not wish to exacerbate the problem.

Our 2011 Field Weekend will now be held in
Norfolk & Suffolk
from Friday 10th to Sunday 12th June.

Plans are currently underway for us to visit several well-managed and interesting woodland estates over the weekend, which will be up to our usual high standards.

Further details will be published on our website and in our next Journal.

Our fifth successive course took place this week at Whitney-on-Wye Sawmill and Joinery Workshops in Herefordshire and has been declared yet another huge success.

Once again participants came from all corners of the UK to spend three days with our exceptional Tutors to experience a unique and interactive learning opportunity. They all agree that this will benefit them in their varied and diverse careers. Here is just a small sample of their comments:

 

“The course has been enthralling from the first moment to the last. Well done Woodland Heritage for making something so very important, so very enjoyable”

“Overall, fantastic! Excellent theory & practical. A great & important networking opportunity. I think it is always difficult to balance sufficient content to justify cost/time with the danger of information overload. This course just about pulls it off.

 

Our next course takes place from

Monday 13th to Wednesday 15th September 2010

 

Once again this will be based at Whitney-on-Wye with sessions in the timber yard and classroom, as well as the joinery workshop and a full day in nearby woodlands.

 

Applications are now being invited for our September course and places will be offered on a ‘suitability’, rather than ‘first come first served’ basis – so as to achieve a ‘balanced group’.
