Arbor Day 2027 - Bringing Industry and the Next Generation Together

Myerscough College will host its eighth annual Arbor Day on Thursday 11 February 2027, bringing together students, employers and professionals from across the arboriculture and forestry sectors.

The event aims to strengthen connections between education and industry, helping students explore the wide range of career opportunities available within arboriculture, from practical tree work and climbing to consultancy, research, woodland management and specialist roles.

We are inviting individuals, businesses and organisations to get involved by delivering short talks, practical demonstrations, workshops, equipment showcases or simply sharing their experiences of working in the industry.

Arbor Day will also run alongside the college’s Careers Day, providing opportunities for employers to meet students and discuss future career pathways.

Our aim is to give students a greater understanding of the industry and inspire the next generation of arboricultural professionals.

Interested in getting involved?
