Teacher Training Days

East Ayrshire Woodlands, as part of the Forest Education Initiative (FEI) are happy to organise training days in a range of areas.
This has mainly concentrated on willow resources with correct harvesting techniques, site preparation, basic weaving techniques and
willow craft work but we are happy to discuss any curriculum subject / project or topic opportunities, with the emphasis on activities
taking place within a local woodland.
