Training Courses
Since spring 2008, Whitney Sawmills has been co-operating with Woodland Heritage and the Duchy of Cornwall to produce a three-day course, entitled 'From Woodland to Workshop'.
Based in the sawmill, the workshop and the Herefordshire woodland, and supported by evening lectures, the course links tree growers with other wood trades and users, introducing participants to the entire process of the timber industry, from forestry management through sawmilling and timber drying to the end user in the workshop.
'From Woodland to Workshop' is a natural addition to Whitney Sawmills, a business that was established by Will Bullough out of a passion for traditional, timber-related skills and responds to the fear that many of these skills are currently in danger of being lost. With a strong emphasis on the practical, and particularly suitable for those with some prior knowledge of the timber industry, the course is the first of its kind in the country and concentrates on 'learning by doing'.
For further information and application forms please contact Woodland Heritage on 01428 652159 or email enquiries@woodlandheritage.org.uk.
