Forestry stars of the future have been given the chance to take root in their careers thanks to the generosity of a Harper Adams alumnus.
John Hepworth studied for a National Diploma in Agriculture at Harper Adams before going on to build an award-winning career in forestry.
John said: “I have won Yorkshire and National competitions in Forestry – as there is nowhere better to be happy than with nature in woodland. “As a thank you, I started the John Hepworth Scholarship and now 23 students have left to be Stars of the Future in Forestry.” Among those who have received a scholarship is third-year BSc Rural Enterprise and Land Management student, Stephen Dale-Sunley, who is currently on his year-long industry placement.
