Growth stories from our participants

I thought I already knew a lot about trees, but the **Expert Knowledge of Tree Varieties** course truly changed my perspective. I can now identify species by their branches and buds—super valuable for my work!

Handling Big Trees was exactly what I needed. Working with trees ranging from 20 to 70 cm trunk circumference gave me a lot of confidence. The instructors provided clear explanations and useful tips.

**Soil Professional** gave me insight into how to properly prepare the soil. I now apply better techniques when planting, and it clearly shows in the growth of the trees.

During the **Climate and Biodiversity** course, I learned which tree species can withstand extreme drought best. This is extremely helpful for projects where we need to consider climate change.

Growing Site and Aftercare was an eye-opener! I never realized that an incorrect planting technique could have such a big impact. I will definitely adjust my approach after this training.
