We have just learnt about a heathland biomass workshop this Friday (March 13th).
This event has been prepared by the South Downs National Park and will take place at Liphook.
The event includes two field trips - Stanley Common and Highfield School (to see the biomass heating system).

The South Downs National Park Authority is recruiting a Forestry and Woodland Officer:
- Main aim will be to bring more woodlands into active management to improve their biodiversity and secure their future within the National Park landscape.
- Particular emphasis will be placed on the sustainable management of native and ancient woodland and restoring the ecological value of PAWS in the South Downs.
- The project will bring together landowners, land managers and contractors to develop and respond to the evolving markets and business opportunities including wood fuel and sustainable construction.
- The successful candidate must have knowledge and experience of the forestry and woodland management sector, together with knowledge of woodland ecology, recreational and resource management and cultural heritage.
- They will be highly organised and be able to produce site management plans.
- Using their knowledge of contracts and contract management, facilitate implementation of projects through contractors. Knowledge of health and safety legislation as it relates to the post is essential.
