They also enjoyed a tour of the campus grounds to look at some of the college\u2019s more unusual tree species.<\/p>\n<p>Some students find their niche in commercial forestry thanks to work experience during their course and go on to full employment in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Following his talk, Adam said: \u201cI\u2019ve very much enjoyed my visit. This is the first time I\u2019ve been to Reaseheath and I\u2019ve been very impressed with the level of engagement and enthusiasm from both first and second year students. This is a reflection of the excellent level of teaching from Dr Leigh Cawley and colleagues in the countryside department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSharing knowledge is the core mantra of the RFS and we believe that giving industry information to Further Education students is of great importance to their development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the three hours I spent with the students we covered many pertinent aspects of UK forestry. These ranged from industry facts and figures to the issue of forest resilience and the importance of planting the right trees in the right place when planning for the potential impact of climate change.\u201d Student Darsh Sachdave said: \u201cAdam\u2019s talk was very interesting and informative. Growing trees commercially for timber is a worldwide industry and it was interesting to hear about the range of jobs on offer. It has helped me think through my own options and it was also a great opportunity to make useful contacts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath\u2019s Countryside Department has long standing links with the RFS, which is the representative body for the forestry industry. The RFS sponsors the \u2018Silky Saw\u2019 award for the best Level 3 Forestry and Arboriculture student each year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Caption: Adam Todd discusses the trees in Reaseheath\u2019s campus with our forestry and arboriculture students.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our forestry and arboriculture students gained a valuable insight into careers in commercial forestry during a lecture from Adam Todd, Future Foresters Officer for the Royal Forestry Society (RFS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":84072,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
