A RANGE of woodland courses is being held throughout the North-East by Northwoods during February.
A one-day management course at Blagdon, Northumberland, will cover broad leaf and coniferous trees, teaching the basics of establishing a wood, choosing the composition of trees and maintaining its long-term quality.
A second one-day course on basic tree surveying is designed for those who look after forests and woodlands in public places.
Courses start from £30 and include introductory and intermediate level chainsaw training, tree climbing, first aid, and chipper operation.
For details and to book, contact Pam Baker at Northwoods on 01670-513292, email pam@northwoods.org.uk or visit northwoods.org.uk.
