SFTT south Scotland webinar: Skills shortages in forestry and training for the future

Oct 7, 2020 at 19:00 — 20:00 (BST)
Organiser: Confor

The Scottish Forest & Timber Technologies autumn meetings will be delivered remotely this year – we will all miss the social side of these well received gatherings, but we have an interesting set of presentations lined up.  The usual updates from your local Conservators, from the Industry Leadership Group and from Confor will be circulated before the events to those who’ve registered to attend, and there will be time for any questions during the meetings.

Skills shortages in forestry and training for the future will feature presentations on:

  • The contractor’s perspective – what we need – Alan Christison, Jim Wilmer & Sons Timber Harvesting Ltd
  • The trainer’s perspective – what we are and will be providing – Martyn Davies, SRUC
  • The young forester’s perspective – how it has worked – Emma Staniforth, Forestry & Land Scotland
  • Hosted by Eddie Addis, SFTT chair for South Scotland

Login instructions will be e-mailed to registered attendees on the day of the webinar.
