[Badwid]

hi, im new to this site, looking for an employer for an apprenticeship in forestry. something ive wanted to do for a long time and if i can find someone good enough to take me on, the college has a place for me. i hold a full driving licence and my own transport. have experience with chainsaws and hard work. ive worked outdoors all my life on farms and building trade but forestry/ arborculture is the route i want to go down. i live in Ledbury, Herefordshire but im willing to travel a few hours. Many thanks, Baden.

just a few tips,

 

1)go self employed,employer seem to be more willing to give you a few day trail.never know where it may lead

2)get some basic ticketlike brushcutter or/and first aid

3)ring everyone involved with forestry or tree work in your area.be warned that every college student will fight for every place going but some company dont like student phoning because they have enough of being phone over and over again,with being let down because the student cant be asked

4)buy all your own ppe and kit

 

this has come for a college student is currently with a tree surgoen company because the head of the company is a legend and was willing to take a risk
