The Apprenticeship Scheme is now open for applications.
The BHLCT invites 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 are likely to be self employed throughout the apprenticeship as this is an essential part of the training.

In particular, the BHL Charitable Trust has established a three year accredited apprenticeship scheme to allow for the recruitment, training and retention of new entrants to the profession.
The Apprenticeship Scheme has been accredited (23rd June 2008) to Level III by OCNW.
Funding for the scheme is being sought and contributions are welcome. The scheme will cost £175,000 for the first three years.
The BHL Charitable Trust welcomes donations, legacies and bequests. All donations are eligible for Gift Aid.
A donation from The Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation was one of the first cheques we received.
The very first donation was a small start up grant from the BHL.
We have since received support from the following bodies:
