Scottish School of Forestry
Scotland’s forestry sector is expanding rapidly and more skilled workers are needed to meet targets for new woodland, timber processing/production and climate change. Arboriculturalists are also in demand as our urban trees face new pressures from a changing climate and more development.
It means there’s never been a better or more exciting time to join the forestry sector. Contact us to arrange a 1-1 chat with one of our subject leaders.
