A trio of students have been presented with awards by the Royal Forestry Society (RFS) North Wales Division.
Daisy Bell received the Best Student Award, Coleg Merion-Dwyfor (Glynllifon), for her hard work and motivation while studying her Level 3 Extended Diploma in Countryside Management over the past two years. In September she begins studying wildlife conservation at Bangor University.
Best Student Award, Coleg Cambria (Llysfasi) winner James Hughes is one of the first group to complete a Level 3 Advanced Technical Extended Diploma in Forestry and Arboriculture at Coleg Cambria, completing the first stage of the Tilhill Diploma programme. He moved to Wales for the course as he wanted to find a way into forestry as a change in career. He has just secured a post as a tree surveyor with Denbighshire County Council.
Winner for the best dissertation by a final-year forestry student was Bangor University’s Karen Batten, whose dissertation focused on the early growth of Scots pine on a restock site in Cornwall.
The awards were presented in North Wales by divisional chairman John Roe.
