Director Amanda Bryan will explain what the Trust funds in forestry research, education and training, the decision-making process and timescales. Dr Ian Willoughby (Forest Research) and Professor Alistair Jump (University of Stirling) will discuss their experiences of applying to and receiving support from the Trust. Attendees will also be able to hear from Eddie Balfour, Joint MD of James Jones who will introduce a new annual Graduate Research Bursary being offered in partnership with SFT. Following a series of short presentations there will be a Q&A session.
