From the prefabricated building settlement to the forest tip: a Saxon conquered London!

From the prefabricated building settlement to the forest tip: a Saxon conquered London!

Klotzsche, Deutschland - Corazón parish dared to do it: from a prefabricated building in Dresden-Klotzsche to the forests of England. The 35-year-old is now a senior forester in London and has developed her own place in British forestry. Growing up on the sixth floor of a high -rise building, it was clear to her early on that she wanted to pursue a career in nature - a dream that she realized with a lot of diligence and commitment.

Every morning she gets up at five o'clock, often accompanied by dense swaths of fog over the forests of Sussex and Kent. Her work is varied: With numerous reforestation projects, wild counts and customer visits, she is constantly on the road and covered an incredible 50,000 kilometers every year. It is not uncommon for your working days to last up to 16 hours, including office work in the evening.

a life for nature

The way to this position was paved with a lot of use. Corazón visited the TU Dresden, which with its forestry training center in Tharandt can show one of the oldest institutions of this kind worldwide. Heinrich Cotta began the forest training there in 1811. The field of forestry, part of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences, has yet established itself and offers individual support for students in a pleasant atmosphere. Corazón quickly understood that this study was the foundation for her career in forestry.

With a clear focus on species and practical applications in natural science, she studied there and carried out her master's thesis on the effects of red deer on young trees. A formative excursion by Eastern Europe, including Venice, was particularly inspiring for her. Through her interest in biodiversity and sustainable forest management, she finally found her place in Great Britain.

success and awards

Recently, parish received the Tom a Bruce-Jones Memorial Award as the "Future Leader" of the British Forestry in Edinburgh, an award that rewarded its remarkable achievements. Through her commitment to forestry and work as an alumni ambassador of the TU Dresden, where she organizes study trips and answers questions, she shows how important it is to pay attention to nature and its protection.

In her daily work at Maydencroft, she heads a committed team, advises forest owners and teaches at the Green Skills Academy. It also develops projects that aim to protect biodiversity. Whether in the wooden harvest or the afforestation - Corazón has a good knack for the various aspects of forestry. She not only prepared her studies for a variety of challenges, but also for the crucial role that forests play in connection with climate change, the preservation of biodiversity and sustainable resource use.

a model for the next generation

For all those who are interested in a career in forestry, the TU Dresden offers a comprehensive overview of the possibilities in the field of forestry and forestry. Here, biological, ecological and economic aspects are linked to each other, which is crucial for the opportunities for career.
