Scottish Wood are hosting the third Working Woods Scotland course this September! (27-29th).
Working Woods Scotland is a 3-day practical training course in homegrown hardwood (and premium softwoods), run by the Association of Scottish Hardwood Sawmillers.
Course teachings cover many aspects of the hardwood industry, including; silvicultural practices for timber production; grading and valuing standing timber and round logs; hardwood processing such as milling and kilning practises; and finding a market for your timber products.
Through Working Woods Scotland, ASHS bring together professionals from across the industry - from foresters and woodland managers, to Sawmillers and woodworkers. Course participants will be selected from a range of applicants to create a group that is diverse in background, experience, age and gender in order to generate a broad mix of skills and ensure exchange of knowledge amongst participants (as well as from the highly experienced trainers!).
For more information on the course, or to submit an application, email coordinator@ashs.co.uk
Closing date for applications - 21st July 2023.
