We are pleased to announce the launch of our second e-learning module.
Following on from our first module ‘Meet the threats‘, which gave an overview of the risks and challenges that non-native pests and pathogens present to trees, this new module, ‘Reducing risks for resilient trees‘, looks at how those risks can be minimised to enhance resilience in trees.
Example of Module 2 content.
This module is aimed particularly at professionals and technical staff across the forestry and tree health sectors who are committed to safeguarding the UK’s trees and woodlands. It is especially valuable for those working in forest management, tree health, biosecurity, and land-based operations, however it will also be of use to anyone with an interest in these areas.
Whether you are working on the ground or shaping policy, this course will equip you with the latest knowledge and practical tools to identify emerging threats, understand transmission pathways, and implement effective biosecurity measures.
A third module, ‘The role of genetics in tree health and forest resilience‘ is also in development. All of these modules form part of our wider training on the theme of resilience fundamentals, tree health, and non-native pests and pathogens.
You can complete our training modules free of charge via the Institute of Chartered Foresters e-learning platform ‘Silvestor’:
The Centre is developing continuous professional development (CPD) training through e-learning modules focused on the future of forest protection. The goal is to offer valuable and forward-looking training that will increase the skills and knowledge within the forestry sector.
