Talk: Forest and woodlands in thw Tywi Vallley by Iwan Lloyd-Williams
A recent participant in the Institute’s inaugural Emerging Leader
development programme, Iwan has been shortlisted for his sustained
efforts and contributions to the sector that extend beyond the limits
of his day job.
Despite his senior role at DSHwood, Iwan volunteers his time as Chair
of Confor’s Wales Committee, is Assistant Director of Forestry at
the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show, is a Natural Resources Wales Member
of the Regional Advisory Committee and is a Board member for the
Forest Industry Safety Accord. His voluntary work has helped secure
tens of millions of pounds for woodland creation in Wales through
lobbying and advocacy and has supported the improvement of the
harvesting and marketing of public sector forests in Wales.
Outside of forestry, Iwan is a passionate advocate for mental health
and is a Trustee for the DPJ Foundation that supports people in rural
Wales experiencing mental health crises. Iwan’s nomination
highlights his leadership, particularly in Wales, thanks to his
knowledge of forestry and the people who influence it.
