Tilhill are delighted to be once again sponsoring the Bede Howell Award for Excellence in Silviculture as part of the Excellence in Forestry Awards 2024.
Royal Forestry Society (RFS) Chief Executive Christopher Williams says:
“We know there are incredible woodlands and projects across the region and are excited to hear about them.
“In this era of climate change, it has never been more important to manage our woodlands and forests well. We need to have a skilled and knowledgeable workforce to make sure our landscapes can adapt and that our children and young people understand the important part our woodlands have to play in all our futures.
“This competition will help identify those that are leading the way, and help share their knowledge and experiences more widely across the UK. It recognises woodlands and projects large and small.”
There are five categories.
- The Duke of Cornwall’s Award for Resilient Multi-Purpose Forestry
- The Bede Howell Award for Excellence in Silviculture
- Small and Farm Woodland of the Year Award
- Education and Learning Award
- Community Woodland of the Year Award
