David Robson has been appointed forest manager for Tilhill‘s north-east district. A well-known face in the region’s countryside, he moves from Groundwork West Durham where he spent four years as senior woodlands officer.

Based in the Stocksfield/Consett area, Mr Robson will be responsible for the woodland management of Tilhill’s existing managed properties – from the Humber, north to Newcastle upon Tyne and east to the Pennines – and will help generate new forest management works across the region.
