2 Contract Details

2.1

Title

Fundamental Forestry Training – 2022-24

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

To design, build and deliver a suite of bespoke, primarily site-based training seminars for Natural Resources Wales, on the following four Forestry subjects:-

• Species diversity

• Thinning

• Restocking & Establishment

• Conservation & Silviculture

Each seminar will be a one-day event and will be delivered at several different forest locations, as agreed between the NRW Project Manager and the provider, so that they are relevant for local staff and minimise travelling for those attending.

It is anticipated that there will be some 50 seminars to be delivered in total (four subjects x 11/12 locations across Wales).

The design will reflect Welsh forestry in terms of Welsh Government and NRW policies and strategies, as well as NRW guidance and practice, all in the context of the Welsh environment.

The seminars will be designed so that they can be delivered to all forest and woodland managers in Wales, both in the private and public sector.
