THE CYPRUS Forestry College which has trained thousands of forestry officials over the past 60 years will close down next year, the ministry of agriculture announced yesterday.
Situated in Prodromos, in a central position within the island’s main state forest, the college was ideally located for students training in forestry. The college was also highly beneficial for the village of Prodromos, as part of the students’ education included working on and tending to the forest grounds immediately surrounding the college, with students often being on a 24-hour duty for the upkeep of the area.
