Overview
The FWM, or Forestry Works Manager, is the person or organisation who commissions the work on a forestry site.

This one day course is designed for Forestry Works Managers, Site Supervisors, Team Leaders and those managing forestry operations. This course will provide a general oversight and awareness of the responsibilities of a Forestry Works Manager.
