Following its successful establishment, the Institute’s Nurseries Special Interest Group is looking for three members to join this dynamic group.
Are you involved with commercial and/or urban nurseries either in procurement, biosecurity, tree breeding or research? Are you passionate about raising the profile of the nursery sector? This is a fantastic opportunity to encourage engagement, tailor relevant CPD content and be a part of the Institute’s wider Stronger Voice:
- Build and enjoy a strong and active network that promotes the nursery sector.
- Support, design and deliver CPD events and related content that raises the profile of key issues and/or developments.
- Engage with the wider industry and environmental sector by guiding the Institute on suitable social media campaigns.
- Support the Institute with meeting members needs and active engagement with our strategy.
- Add your voice to the development of long-term tree supply strategies for the sector.
The Institute aims to provide a professional home for all arboriculture and forestry specialisms and better understand our members’ needs. We are particularly encouraging early career professionals to express interest.
Chris Hardy MICFor, Chair of the Nurseries Special Interest Group, commented:
“There has never been a more important and dynamic time for nurseries in the forestry and arb sector. The Institute’s Nurseries Special Interest Group has been playing a critical role in communicating key nursery issues to the wider industry, as well as sharing knowledge and ideas among its membership. The group is ready to grow and diversify to ensure it is best placed to consider and tackle today’s key tree supply challenges. If you’re interested in developing and improving UK tree supply, please consider joining this forward-thinking group of professionals.”
