WHAT IS FORÊTFOR?
The ForêtFor is a complete introduction to forest management combining theoretical evening classes, field visits and practical exercises. It is open to all novice forest owners, regardless of the size of their forest, and to their children. This is a non-certifying training course.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the course, you will have a good grasp of the technical and administrative bases of forest management. You'll be able to situate yourself within the industry and have a clear idea of how to communicate with the various parties involved.
PRACTICAL ORGANISATION
- 10 evening classes (6 to 9 pm): session every first Tuesday of the month from September 2026 to June 2027 in Gembloux (Maison de la ruralité)
