As part of their Forestry Module, students have to design a new woodland, making sure they take into account factors such as designations, soil and future climate scenarios. Paul demonstrated how <a href=\"https:\/\/myforest.sylva.org.uk\/\">myForest <\/a>could help design their new woodland spatially using the mapping tool, in addition to understanding woodland creation considerations using the woodland creation plan embedded into myForest.\u00a0 As part of this work Sylva Foundation has provided access to paid account plans for all of the students while they\u00a0 work on their assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;We really appreciate the contribution which the Sylva Foundation makes to our forestry modules at Harper Adams. Not only do they provide face to face tuition and access to myForest but our students tell us that they feel more confident in expressing their ideas around woodland creation after these sessions. Thanks to Sylva Foundation for being such an important part of encouraging young people into woodland management at Harper Adams.&#8221;<\/p>\n<cite>Nick Covarr Lecturer in Forestry &amp; Woodland, Harper Adams<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Harper-Adams-2023-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Harper-Adams-2023-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Harper-Adams-2023-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Harper-Adams-2023-1-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Harper-Adams-2023-1-600x451.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nick Covarr (left) and Paul Orsi (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;I love getting out and talking to the next generation of land managers.
