Our first guest as part of our ‘Next Generation’ series is Hannah Munro, a 20 year old Rural Estate Student and Forester on Balcaskie Estate in Fife.
Join us as Hannah shares her journey from growing up on a farm in the Highlands, to realising a passion for forestry and studying for an HNC in Arboriculture & Urban Forestry at The Scottish School of Forestry, before moving to Fife to join a newly formed forestry team.
Hannah talks about being the only girls in her class and her determination to succeed, her experience of winning the LANTRA ALBA Timber and Trees Learner of the Year Award in 2023, how she got her first job, and being interviewed for the Forestry Journal as part of their ‘Women in Forestry’ feature.
We also discuss the challenge of trying to find the right career guidance and support for those who don't want to pursue the university route, leaving a legacy as a forester, and getting gear that fits.
Having achieved so much already in such a short space of time, we can’t wait to see what comes next for Hannah!
