We’re coming to the end of another busy year, and the Institute of Chartered Foresters has been as productive as ever in 2022.
Take a look back with us as we highlight just some of the work we’ve undertaken on behalf of our members this year.
Events
Expert speakers from 14 countries
160+ hours of video content online
More than 2,500 event delegates
We continued to support members’ Continuous Professional Development through a variety of in-person and online learning opportunities. Our popular #MembersHour series continued with fortnightly sessions, and we have an exciting line up of future sessions planned going forward into 2023.
In addition to our online events programme, we hosted several in-person events as 2022 saw a welcome relaxing of the social restrictions seen over the last few years. It was great to see our National Conference return to Glasgow in April, where we welcomed more than 300 delegates (online and in-person) to ‘Climate Smart Forestry: A Focus on the Fundamentals’. November also saw the return of a face-to-face National Tree Officers, with more than 250 tree officers, planners and arboriculturists joining us in Telford for a very well-received event.
Our online Members’ Area Library continues to grow with new content added on a regular basis. Our members have access to more than 160 hours of video content, 16 years’ worth of Chartered Forester / TREES back issues, and can access their free subscription to Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research through the portal.
