And Abroad

OVERSEAS STUDY TOUR

Every two years, the RFS organises a Study Tour overseas. These range from the Pacific Seaboard of North America across to China and from Iceland down to Patagonia. The visits are laid on in co-operation with foresters and landowners in the host country - so we learn about local life from the inside and reach places normal tourists would not. Recent tours were to:

  • 1993 South Africa
  • 1995 Bulgaria
  • 1997 Sweden
  • 1999 Argentina
  • 2001 Vosges
  • 2003 British Columbia
  • 2005 Catalunya
  • 2008 North East Turkey

These tours are for RFS members; visit the Join Us page for membership information.

Local Divisions run shorter trips to continental Europe and the Republic of Ireland as well.
