FORESTRY & THE COUNTRYSIDE
Forestry & The Countryside
Llysfasi

If you love nothing more than being in the great outdoors, standing under a canopy of trees or walking over a moss-covered woodland floor, then our Forestry programme is for you. We’re located in the beautiful Vale of Clwyd, the perfect natural setting for practical wildlife work.
Not only that, you’ll have the opportunity to study and work on a wide variety of habitats and sites including woodlands, heath and moorland, ranging from the coast right up to the mountain tops in your time at Coleg Cambria. Whether you want to work in conservation, rural and country estate management, forestry or anything in between, this is the place you want to study.

Rhiannon Bartley
Studied – Level 3 Countryside Management
Currently – Conservation Operative at ELM Ltd
I decided that I want my time and energy to be redirected and utilised towards a future more aligned with my perspective and aspirations. This course ticked all the boxes on paper and exceeded my expectations. Despite joining college at the height of the pandemic, the tutors still arranged as many practical sessions and trips as possible and it was during one of these sessions that I met my current employer.
I have met many people in the industry and have tried to soak up the plethora of information and experiences shared by the tutors themselves and others along the way.
Everyone that works with and at Llysfasi has created an open, supportive and wholesome environment for students to flourish in.

Frankie McCamley
Studied – A Level English, Drama, Maths and French
Currently – Presenter and News Correspondent for the BBC
“I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in the future, so I chose a range of different subjects to study at A Level. I’m now employed by the BBC as a Presenter and News Correspondent and studying at Yale Sixth gave me the confidence and skills to go onto university. I made some amazing friends, had some great teachers who I’ll never forget and had a great time in Wrexham!
“I look back on my time at Yale with pride and fondness and will never forget it!”
