"It was friends and family who recommended Bicton College to me"

• Countryside Management and Arboriculture

  With the increasing awareness and concern about the environment, the Countryside Management and Arboriculture courses at Bicton College provide sound knowledge and practical skills in environment and tree management.  Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty with a variety of natural habitats and wildlife, Bicton College is also on the doorstep of the ‘Jurassic Coast’ World Heritage Site and an extensive area of internationally important heathland.  The South West of England has more designated sites of conservation interest than any other region in the UK.
