This course will provide you with the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to progress to higher level study in countryside and environment related fields, or to secure direct employment within the industry.You will undertake a wide range of practical activities on the Lackham campus, from species surveying to tree planting and coppicing. You will also be involved in managing the college's extensive farm and estate in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside.Lackham's woodlands are a versatile resource managed to demonstrate timber production, recreation, education, game production and wildlife conservation. Game and wildlife resources are typical of a lowland estate and include a small shoot, all of which are used to demonstrate good practice and provide a platform for practical skills development by offering a realistic hands-on experience. We also have links with a number of local employers that can provide work and training opportunities to further experience the diverse and exciting range of countryside management work.One of the requirements of the course is that you must successfully complete a period of assessed work experience between the two years.
