LEARN WITH CONFIDENCE
Build the Knowledge to Understand and Manage Woodlands
The SLIM Woodlands CIC provides practical, accessible training for woodland owners, land managers, forestry and environmental professionals, and people looking to develop their knowledge of woodland management and forestry.
Courses combine professional forestry knowledge with genuine woodland examples, group discussion and practical activities. The aim is not simply to provide information, but to help participants observe woodlands differently, understand the factors influencing their condition and make better-informed management decisions.
Training is led by Graham Morgan, a Chartered Forester, Chartered Environmentalist, and registered Ecologist with more than 24 years of professional experience assessing and advising on land and water assets including woodlands.
