FCA Ticket Offer  - APF International Forestry Exhibition

APF 2010, the UK’s largest forestry and arboricultural exhibition is returning to Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, the same location as its hugely successful 2008 event. Over 250 exhibitors and 16000 visitors attended in 2008. The dates are the 23-25th September 2010.

Already over 100 companies have booked for 2010 with over 2500m of demonstration frontage and over 70 static display sites taken.

The show will host three huge visitor attractions; the Stihl Timbersports Roadshow, the first time this has ever been seen in the UK, the Husqvarna World Poleclimbing Championships and the very popular UPM Tilhill European Chainsaw carving Championships.

The FCA will be there too, and once again we are able to offer a discounted ticket package. FCA members will be able to purchase their first ticket for £6 and any additional tickets will only cost £12. This represents a significant saving on the standard gate price of £15.

The FCA Annual General Meeting will be held at the show this year. Full details will be mailed to every member prior to the event.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the show, which promises to be the most successful yet.

Wyre Forest butterfly project off to a flying start

Nov 02 |00:00 AM

The Forestry Commission estate in the Wyre Forest is all of a flutter thanks to a pioneering four-year project to help protect the region’s butterfly stronghold and improve Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The Back to Orange Project is being funded by a £74,000 grant from SITA Trust to help conserve the distinctive fritillary butterflies for which the Wyre Forest is so well known.  All fritillaries are predominantly orange, with a network of darker markings forming the chequered pattern from which the name ‘fritillary’ is derived.
