APF 2008
The APF Exhibition is the largest exhibition and display of forestry, woodland, arboriculture, utilities and estate management machinery, equipment, supplies and services in the UK. The event has something of interest for both the trade and the general public. There is wide variety of arena events, competitions and displays, many of which you will not see anywhere else and it is a fantastic opportunity to compare rival machines in a realistic working environment and learn what goes on in the UK's woodlands. The APF will take place on 18/19/20th September 2008 at Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, UK. Woodland Heritage are running a three-day training course to link tree growers with wood users. The aim of this course is to link tree growers with wood users. It will raise awareness and broaden horizons by educating participants from the forest through to the workshop.
This first groundbreaking course took place between Tuesday 6th and Thursday 8th May at Whitney Sawmill and Joinery Workshop, Whitney-on-Wye, Herefordshire. A second course is planned for Autumn 2008. Numbers will be restricted to enable a 'hands on' and highly interactive approach.
