Free training on identifying trees this Summer

Next time you’re out walking, wouldn’t you like to know about the different trees around you? Learning to identify broadleaf trees can not only help you connect with nature, but can also lead to an interesting career.

Working together with Great Yarmouth Borough Council and Trees for Cities, the Field Studies Council are excited to offer free training to residents living in the Great Yarmouth area, particularly young people who would like to know more about their local environment.

The training includes how to identify a range of broadleaf trees and will also offer insights into careers working with trees.

The training is perfect for young people with an interest in identifying, planting, protecting and caring for urban trees, who are looking to volunteer, learn or work in this sector.

The course will be delivered either as a one-day face-to-face course on 13th August or online starting 8th August. The 4-week online course includes self-led online study, activities, assignments and live Zoom sessions, with a time commitment of around 2-3 hours per week. An E-certification will be provided upon completion of the course.

Registrations are now open and will close on the 20th June at 9am. Numbers are limited, so register now!
