Trustees are: Nic De Brauwere Doug Joiner Julian Philipson Bertie Ross Stephen West There are two vacancies. Applications and suggestions are invited. |
In particular, the BHL Charitable Trust is establishing a three year accredited apprenticeship scheme to allow for the recruitment, training and retention of new entrants to the profession. Funding for the scheme is being sought and contributions are welcome. The scheme will cost £175,000 for the first three years. |
The Apprenticeship Scheme awaits full funding and accreditation. As soon as all is in place we will be inviting applications from aspiring horse logging 'forestry entrepreneurs'. Apprentices will become self employed contractors at the end of their apprenticeship. They will learn the skills required to work in modern forestry using animal traction as well as all the necessary business, banking, accounting and marketing skills required to run an effective modern enterprise. It is expected they will be eligible to be entered onto the BHL 'Professional Register' as successful completion will require this high standard. They will be self employed throughout the apprenticeship as this is an essential part of the training.
