Tech Cert...Woodland management

[sean]

Does anybody have any examples of any woodland management plans?.

 

Am currently revising for Tech Cert management exams and am doing the course via myerscough so research material has been very limited.

 

If anybody could help me out with examples of woodland management plans/maps/surveys etc it would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks

I have a 10 page management plan prepared by the Forestry Commission for a wood in Kent. I can email it to you.

Hi Sean, The forestry commission website is meant to be a good source for this kind of thing - I found this advice by typing 'management plan' into their search facility.

Take a look at the woodland grant schemes while you're there, apparently we should no the various schemes in outline.

 

What day is your exam BTW?

Have just downloaded some plans from FC. And kindly received a plan from Steve....thanks for that.

Would love to see some woodland maps etc if anybody has them.

 

My exam is on the Friday. And yours? Hows the revision going? Your fungus i.d shouldn't be a problem judging from what i've been seeing on arbtalk!

Excellent, I'm there on Friday too. I'll be driving up an staying at a mates in Bridgnorth the night before. Are you driving? Let me know if you need a lift afterwards, obviously I won't be going to that London, but I can drop you off at a station, if you're going by train.

 

On the downside, Friday is the last day, so the examiners might be grumpy aledgedly...

 

My fungi ID is probably just adequate to pass - I got a few wrong in the Mock test at Tree Life - it's a bit easier checking stuff on arbtalk with google and Phillips close to hand!

Just be careful regarding the fungi I.D’s for Tech Cert. Most photos on here are lovely fresh fruiting bodies in their perfect form. You may well get some dried-up desiccated examples that have been living in someone’s garage for the last 4 years.

Thanks for the pointer john

I think they use photo's now, but I could be wrong. The had dried up lumps at the tree life thing, but I think they said that photos are used in the exam.
