Join us on our Planning for and Planting Trees one-day short course at the BMC campus, Troed Yr Harn farm!
This one-day course will provide an introduction to the importance of trees within treescapes at a global and Welsh level, considering planting objectives, species selection and tree care. We will look at how this is being applied at the BMC campus at Troed yr Harn farm and then undertake hands-on planting to create a shelterbelt.
