Woodland History Training Course

The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic Monuments (RCAHMS) is running a Woodland History Training Course with dendrochronologist/environmental archaeologist Coralie Mills and native woodland history expert and forester Peter Quelch. The course will take place just outside Aviemore and will include a field visit to historic woodlands nearby.

The day will consist of a morning of workshop talks indoors introducing the idea of woodland heritage, including woodland archaeology, documentary evidence, woodland types, tree-forms and tree-ring evidence. In the afternoon there will be a visit to historic woods in the area to apply what has been learnt to a range of woodland types and tree-forms.
