RFS - Silky Fox Handsaw Award
 |
The RFS Silky Fox Handsaw Award rewards students who have stood out on practical forestry and arboriculture courses as they start their careers. The award is given for the best student or the student showing most endeavour as they gain practical hands-on skills in tree and woodland care. The prize is a Gomtaro Silky Handsaw and a year’s membership to the RFS.
"This is an important partnership to have with the RFS and shows to the students that there is a larger industry out there. The opportunities and experiences they can achieve can start while they are still learning about the industry, and open further avenues to explore once their qualifications are completed.'
Capel Manor College
FE training is consistently delivering the essential practical and theoretical skills needed to launch careers in tree care and woodland management, with many colleges boasting excellent employment rates.
The RFS is delighted to be working in partnership with Silky Fox Handsaws for this special initiative.
