Trees And Timber Apprenticeship (England)
The Trees and Timber Apprenticeship is for budding arboriculture and forestry staff, who work with and around trees. Forests and woodland are an important resource for timber, amenity and recreation, tourism and biodiversity. Foresters focus on the management of forests and woodland, whereas arborists cultivate, manage and care for individual trees, or groups of trees, with the primary aim of maintaining them for amenity purposes. There are three specialisms within this apprenticeship; arboriculture, general forestry and greenwood trades.
