Interested in a session on FSC forest management certification?
© FSC UKIn April, FSC UK Forest Standards Manager Dr Owen Davies gave a lecture and Q&A session for second year undergraduate forestry students at Bangor University, raising awareness among the foresters of the future.
After a basic introduction to FSC forest management certification, students had the opportunity to discuss topics such as pesticides, controlled wood, the challenges of certification for smaller woodlands, and the recent UKWAS revision process.
‘The level of knowledge and interest among the students was really encouraging,’ says Owen. ‘I studied forestry at Bangor myself, and it’s great to be able to give something back. This is the second year I’ve given a lecture there, so hopefully this will become a regular event.’
Any other forestry educational establishments interested in a session on FSC forest management certification should contact Owen at owen at fsc-uk point org.
