Sylva Science
advancing forestry knowledge
We undertake research and promote tree science through our Forestry Horizons think-tank. In July 2010 we launched a pilot "citizen science" project called TreeWatch. Later in 2010 we will be launching the Sylva Scholarship with a leading UK University. |
Sylva Education
reconnecting people with trees
Our environmental education project OneOak is following the full life story of one oak tree. Two hundred and fifty school children, plus scientists, artists, musicians and dozens of wood users are involved. The OneOak tree is now Britain's most studied oak tree. |
Sylva Forestry
supporting sustainable forest management
Our innovative myForest service revolves around an online web-map of woodlands, products and businesses. It provides an online management planning account for woodland owners. Forestry and wood businesses can register for free. |
