I felt lucky to be able to attend an AIM Level 3 course in Sustainable Woodland Management the last 3 days. The course was organised and hosted by Small Woods in Ironbridge, in beautiful Shropshire. Small Woods are the national association for woodland stewardship and oversee, advise, train and support small woodland owners, trustees, workers and enthusiasts.
The course offered a huge amount of information on how to access advice and data, the obligations and responsibilities that come with ownership or managing a woodland site, as well as learning about the product and economic conversion of any produce, how to grow and develop small woodlands sustainably and to work towards a resilient future! There was a lot of theory and some amazing practical elements too. I enjoyed my stay at the centre and even managed to experience a little bit of the local landscape and culture too!
