morton training limited
High quality land-based training courses, Morton Training Limited are a Lantra
registered Training Provider and City & Guilds/NPTC Assessment Centre. This
means that we are able to meet all your land-based training and assessment
requirements. All our instructors are highly qualified and registered with
Lantra and our Assessors used are all NPTC qualified. When selecting woods for
training people to fell trees we partner up with local landowners who have areas
of woodland that have often been neglected and may not be commercially viable
for big contracts and machines. Tree are marked up to take out the weakest or
worst formed trees thus enhancing the chances of the remaining trees. The brash
is normally left in the wood as habitat piles. Often small glades are created
giving further opportunity for diversity with woodland species like foxglove,
bluebells and wild garlic. The timber is then extracted either for logs or
biomass. Occasionally some will be left in the wood as habitat. Because all of
our felling is done by hand rather than machine the impact on the wood is
minimal and always leaves the woodland in a better condition than before. We
have also donated to National Trust to plant 500 Square Metres of Woodland on
our behalf. If you wish to donate, please click here to access the National
Trust site.
