💚 Check out this article written by our very own Becky Wilkinson, Learning & Outreach Manager, in collaboration with Countryside Jobs Service about careers in the forestry sector. 🌱 "The climate emergency and Government tree planting targets mean that there has never been more demand for the skills that our sector offers, but also that more young people than ever before want to work with trees and woodlands. As a sector, we can all do more in giving advice to the young people who reach out to us about how to get into the sector and increasing the number of pathways in for them." ⭐ https://lnkd.in/e4a44UxX #CountrysideJobs #ForestrySector #Forestry #Arb #RFSJobs #CareersAdvice #ClimateEmergency #TreePlanting #WoodlandManagement #CareerPathways

🆕 A new Forest Research publication reviews existing evidence on biodiversity in many of the most commonly encountered commercial forest types in Great Britain. Biodiversity studies were undertaken in commercial forests composed of mostly Sitka spruce and Scots pine, followed by oak and Norway spruce. The review concludes there may only be enough research evidence to answer specific research questions about biodiversity in commercial high forests for certain broad taxonomic groups (i.e. birds, ground vegetation, carabid beetles).

“I see this planting as a template for Simons Wood and Oxey Wood. Where once we had just ash and oak with a hazel understory in this compartment we now have nine species. This adds biodiversity and ensures the woodland would continue if a new pests or diseases impacts any one species of tree.” Dan Cammarata-Hall, Forestry Manager for Milton Estates.
