The Sylva Foundation is working in partnership with the British Ecological Society to run a half-day CPD and consultation workshop to establish opportunities and constraints to teaching and learning forest ecology in secondary schools.
An important conference will take place on October 1st concerning the challenges facing our woodlands from environmental change. Organised jointly by the Royal Forestry Society and the Woodland Trust, we are pleased to have been invited to contribute.
Our plans to support more business incubation, apprentices and work placements at the Sylva Wood Centre took a step forward this week, thanks to the generous long-term loan of seven quality work benches.
We enjoyed a fantastic opening weekend as part of Artweeks. It was wonderful to meet so many of our new neighbours and the local community.
Following on from the launch of Version 3.0 of myForest, we have launched video guidance on how to use the various myForest applications and features.
We are opening our new Sylva Wood Centre to the public for the first time from tomorrow – we hope to see you there. Our exhibition is open from 16-25 May.
We are proud the Sylva Foundation’s strong ties with the University of Oxford, particularly through our graduate scholarship that focusses on productive and healthy forests.
We are pleased to announce the launch of myForest for education: the UK’s first ever woodland management planning tool specifically designed for education. Funded by the Patsy Wood Trust, myForest for education has been developed as part of the recently launched myForest Version 3.0.
The Living Ash Project features alongside other great projects in the Woodland Trust’s Wood Wise magazine, encouraging everyone to get involved in tree and woodland studies.
We are pleased to announce that during Artweeks we will be opening the Sylva Wood Centre to the general public for the first time.
