Laura Watt (25), from Lancashire, worked as an environmental education officer for the Lancashire Wildlife Trust before applying for a Modern Apprenticeship in Trees and Timber with Scottish Forestry and Scottish School of Forestry.

“I don’t like being stuck behind my desk, I want to be outside doing practical things, so when the apprenticeship was advertised it seemed a great opportunity to learn more and train. I also love the Highlands, I holidayed here a lot when I was younger so the beautiful countryside location was a big attraction. I would love to stay in the region and work as a forestry craftsperson.”
