VETree

Spreading best practice in veteran tree management

 

VETree is a two year project with funding from the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme. The Ancient Tree forum is the British partner and Helen Read is working for the ATF in a part time capacity to deliver the project. The aim of the project is to put together training materials, and to prepare and deliver courses. These will include a one day ‘basic’ level course and a three day more advanced course that will enable participants to teach the basic level course. These are aimed principally as vocational courses for people already working with trees or countryside issues but we hope that they may also be suitable for students. There will also be online training materials and associated information available on the website. All the training material produced will be freely available. The pilot courses run within the VETree project will be heavily subsidised and any costs will only be for essentials not covered by the grant. Future courses are may be charged for to cover the costs of the trainer, facilities etc.

 

Within the time frame of the project a limited number of courses will be delivered, and these will be spread across the partner countries (UK, Spain, Sweden, Belgium and Romania). It will be possible for people from Britain to attend a course, either in the UK or in another country but the total number of places will necessarily be limited. However it is hoped that the training material will also be used throughout the UK.

 

The project started on the 1st November 2012 so it is currently in the early stages but if you would like to be informed about the project as it progresses please contact Helen via [email protected].
