The Bill Hogarth Memorial Apprenticeship Trust

Our Purpose is to ensure that the coppicing skills of Bill Hogarth MBE are recognised for their full worth and their continuity secured through a broad-based apprenticeship.

Be a Sponsor!

BHMAT is always interested in finding new sponsors. If you are involved in the coppice industry and would like to talk to someone about becoming a sponsor, please get in touch.

Join Our Mailing List

We send out occasional emails with details about Woodland Pioneers, Apprenticeship placements and more.

Woodland Pioneers

BHMAT is well known for organising our yearly week of woodland craft courses. Run from the beautiful woodlands of Silverdale, North Lancashire.

Get Involved!

You don’t need to be a coppice worker to be involved with BHMAT or Woodland Pioneers. Maybe you can offer your help in other ways as a volunteer.

Help us with Funding

As we are a charity with very few funds we’re always looking for people that can help us financially or know of other people looking to put money towards projects like ours.

Our Tool Bank

We have a collection of tools that our apprentices can borrow from – very handy when running courses. If you’re already involved with BHMAT then we may be able to lend tools to you too!
