Trees and Timber (Modern Apprenticeship) SCQF Level 5/6

What is special about this course?

Arboriculture and forestry both involve working with and around trees, and forests and woodland are an important resource for timber, amenity and recreation, tourism and biodiversity. Forestry focuses on the management of forests and woodland, whereas arboriculture centres on the cultivation, management and care for individual trees or groups of trees, with the primary aim of maintaining them for amenity purposes. A wide range of skills and knowledge is therefore required as there is a significant variety of jobs and tasks involved.
