Build practical confidence in the principles shaping woodland creation, management and decision-making across the UK, from planning and approval through to delivery and long-term management.

The UK Forestry Standard influences how forestry projects are planned, assessed and delivered. Our UKFS learning routes help professionals and wider teams understand how the Standard applies in practice, so they can support projects, clients, contractors and woodland management activity with greater confidence.

We offer discounted organisational pricing and would be delighted to work with employers to embed UKFS learning into onboarding, induction and staff development programmes. Our two-course model enables organisations to build a shared understanding of UKFS across forestry professionals and wider teams, from planning through to delivery.
