This is just some of the feedback from the course😄:

"Hands down, the best course I have been on in a very long time. What Richard, Ian and Lucinda have done for me has quite literally been life-changing.

My advice to anyone considering joining a future course - do it, do it now!"

"The course was well structured and the qualifications gained where relevant to future employment in the outdoor sector. Also the case studies and assignments gave us extra insight and knowledge in their respective fields. Most of the Instructors where absolutely excellent and had lots of knowledge and experience to pass down to us and was taught in a clear and precise manner. Special mention to Richard, Ian , Pete ,Pottsy, Diggs and Darren. They where all excellent instructors."

Secure Forests Now are now into the 4 week of the Course 004 at Mount Edcgumbe Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park (Official) Last week the course built and amazing Cornish Stone hedge! A stunning piece of work and architecture for the country park. This week while the course have been conducting Chainsaw, Brush cutter and ATV qualifications with Duchy college, I had the opportunity of visiting the Plymouth University Applied Research Project.
