Sad to say that my year as Trainee Forester on the Chatsworth Estate has come to an end but happy to announce that from next week, I am being promoted to Assistant Forester!! Feel very lucky to be able to continue working on such a beautiful estate with such an awesome team ๐๐ณ

It's been a week since I started my new job as Trainee Forester at Chatsworth and what an absolutely mind-blowing week it's been! I've covered everything from timber stocks to invoicing to stocking density to mapping to firewood processing ๐ฒ๐ณ Life as a forester is awesome!

One of our players had invested in a new bat on Saturday (the price was disclosed to us...).
Yesterday, he was superbly caught out at point for a duck by an opponent making their debut, wearing the classic combination of a white cricket jumper with jeans.

People with a following on social media ought to show more responsibility. It's not the contractors job to produce an EIA document to justify the work they're doing. Have you tried contacting the actual @ForestryComm or landowner officially, NOT thru Twitter? Conspiracy galore.๐คฆโโ๏ธ

Strange this tweet showing large area of grassland being ploughed up for a plantation has been removed since I asked to see an Environmental Impact Assessment. Why? I can only assume there isn't one and that the contractor and the landowner are hiding something? @TelfordBlack

#Careers in #forestry are often not advertised by #schools & misunderstood making it hard for young people to get into. After experiencing this for herself @MimaLetts wants to change this by shining the light on varied roles available. @tree_sparks

@MimaLetts started @tree_sparks in 2018 with the aim of increasing awareness of forestry careers in young people. A graduate student from the Forestry program @BangorUni found herself facing many barriers. #talkingforests #forestry #forests #trees

England and Scotland both emerge from the Group stage of the #ForestTreeWorldCup2020 with flying colours - when was the last time you could say that about a world cup?
Sycamore scrapes through, with the accusations of โnon-nativeโ ringing in its branches.

Who's excited for Group C of the #ForestTreeWorldCup2020? Kicking off today at 14:30 GMT.
Follow @ForestryComm to take part and vote for your favourite to progress to the next round.
Winners of the last were Scots pine and Sycamore. Seems the desire for "native" is strong! ๐ณ๐ฒ

Time for Group B of the #ForestTreeWorldCup2020 !
An intriguing selection here, and it's all to play for. This is one for the hardcore fans; again the winners might seem obvious, but do we rely on old favourites or branch out into new species?
Pick your best of the bunch below

My daughter is doing an A level Design and Technology project on tree planting (specifically, on sustainable tree guards). If you plant trees and you have got two minutes, she would be hugely grateful if you could fill this initial survey in. Pls RT๐

While the lockdown is on, I'm getting lots of office work done - the next job on the list is to draft a deer management plan. Anyone have any advice on resources to use/good things to read so I can get myself clued up? ๐ฆ๐ณ@AlastairDeerEng @BritishDeerSoc @DavidDeerEng
