Do you run training courses on other peoples' land?

Do you use others land to run your courses? What sort of species / woodland type / access do you normally look for? Is there a going rate for such a use?

 

Hi-Line are coming by on Friday to discuss using our 10 acre wood for some of their training. I'm curious to find out what sort of fees are normally paid or are arrangements made where works are offered instead?

The way it works for my training company is we work in conjunction with foresters and management plans. No fees apply because timber is being felled and processed to spec so the landowner gets money from the sale of the timber. The forestry commission on the other hand in East anglia charge £20 + vat per man per day. Thus nobody uses there sites anymore.

Interesting to hear.

How many specs do you cut just standard firewood or do commercial stuff such as pulp, sawlogs etc?

We cut to spec of the site so it could be anything. Firewood is most common normally 2.4 to 3m. Larger trees for saw logs etc. Generally whatever suits the landowner.
