Benmore Forestry School - Details and Exams
Papers courtesy of Gordon Donaldson, Cowal and Trossachs Forest District, who had obtained them many years ago from the office of Len MacRae.
This series of papers which can been seen in full in the PDF show the aims of the training at the Forestry Commission Forester Training School based at Benmore near Dunoon; the work conditions, allowances and leave; initial arithmetic exam; and the final term (1965) exam papers.
The writer initially thought this was the set of final exam papers for the 1963 intake group but the Easter 1965 heading is too early for this to be the case. As one of the intake group of 1963 these papers are a bit a blast from the past for the writer whose memories of the question subjects are certainly distant and would be as challenging today as then!
