Training Facilities

We have a spacious, and well ventillated training room, providing each learner with their own workbench, and bench vice. We have a full workshop for any extra repairs to equipment.

Lower Bush Farm consists of 40 acres of fields, woodlands and orchards. Some practical aspects of training is carried out on site when necessary. Most practical Chainsaw felling and processing of trees is carried out in other local woodlands and forests which are within a 5 minute drive.

Hot and cold drinks are provided free of charge. Please bring your own food, as well as drinks for when we are out in the woods or fields completing the practical elements of training and assessment.
