The Education Fund makes awards to applicants for technical and professional courses such as chainsaw competency, business planning, or competency on woodland creation and carbon management; as well as educational trips, field courses and study tours. This fund is also available for skilled members wishing to improve or update themselves by attending suitable training courses or study tours.
The Trustees are looking for information from you not only on the benefits to your career in forestry by undertaking the training or visit, but also how this training/education experience can benefit the wider forestry sector as a whole.
The award will be based on the contribution the course will make to the applicant progressing their career and how the training provided will improve how the applicant can contribute to the wider development of the forestry sector.
The Trustees limit awards for the Education Fund to £1000 per application.
The Trustees will make their decisions on the basis of many factors including, but not restricted to, the quality of the application and its relevance to both the individual and to the industry, the funds available from year to year and to the mix/type of applications received in any one year.
Post or email your completed application form to Fiona Angier, Confor, 59 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 2JG.
