Alistair Yeomans (right) is presented with his Chartered Forester certificate by Sir Martin Wood
Our Director of Forestry, Alistair Yeomans, successfully passed his examinations with the Institute of Chartered Foresters earlier in the year.
Today he was presented with his professional member certificate by SYLVA’s chairman Sir Martin Wood.
Alistair joins the ranks of other Chartered Foresters and Arboriculturists representing the highest professional standards in our industry.
He was recently elected Regional Secretary of the ICF’s South East division where he supports ICF members in the region and arranges events.
We have been having some fun producing a short video with the aim of introducing the myForest Service.
We felt that the depth and power of myForest was difficult to get across to people new to the service, and that a video would be a good way to provide an overview of the mapping, managing and marketing elements of the service. The video has been placed prominently on the updated front page of the myForest website: www.myForest.org.uk.
Did it work for you? We would love to hear your views.
We are making final preparations for the public launch of the myForest Service in April.
The development of myForest by SYLVA has spanned about 18 months. During this time we have discussed and listened to all views right across the forestry sector. We have also developed powerful yet simple IT tools for our future users. We have used this time to develop a service that we hope will be really useful to all elements of the woodchain; from woodland owner and agent, through to wood using businesses.
The current usage of the myForest service is approximately 100 businesses and some 50 woodland owners. These users have come to the service by word of mouth, and via our research and development activities. We believe that we are now ready to launch the service publicly and now hope to gain rapid support and uptake. The more myForest is adopted the better it will support the forestry sector.
As of March 2010, 100 businesses have registered on the myForest service.
