Rural skills

Have you ever wanted to find a tree surgeon, a hedge layer, find someone to write a Farm Environmental Plan, contact a local landscaper? Having trouble in trying to get contacts to support the work you do? Well.... look no further, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust can help you!
We’re keen to support and assist those involved in traditional and rural skills – particularly in the New Forest and on the Isle of Wight. After receiving funding from the European Community New Forest & Isle of Wight Leader + Programme we’ve set up the New Forest and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust
Rural Skills Directory website… your first port of call when looking to employ traditional craftsmen and rural practitioners in the New Forest and Isle of Wight areas.
The website will enable those working in rural industries to advertise their skills to as wide an audience as possible. Advertising on this site is, and will continue to be, free of charge. To advertise your skills or to find a contractor, visit the
Rural Skills Directory website and find out more.
