Photograph is courtesy of John Keenleyside, Forres who was posted to Silviculture Research at Wykeham after leaving Glentress Forester Training School.
John was there from 1953 – 56 and in the attached PDF he recalls the three nurseries, the hard working staff as well as the time on going down a hill, the fourth wheel of the old vehicle which they were in passed ahead of them!
There is also an image of the Agricultural Nursery, the research seed beds and also one of John Weatherell who was in charge of the Research Station. John recalls that he was one of the few foresters who spent his whole career in one location. Also mentioned are work colleagues Ron Robson and Calvin Booth.
