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.
Work is underway to design and build a sculptural entrance sign for our newly opened-centre for innovation and enterprise in wood.
A major new version of myForest has been launched by the Sylva Foundation. Version 3.0 of myForest is more streamlined, easier to use and packed with new features.
We were delighted to be part of the BBC Countryfile ‘Woodland Extravaganza’ programme broadcast on 19th April. The work of our charity, including the newly-opened new Sylva Wood Centre, featured alongside many of our friends and partners across the woodland, forestry and wood sectors.
We are excited to be featuring in the BBC One programme Countryfile this coming Sunday at 19:00.

In our second feature on this story, Sylva’s CEO talks to James Tyler of Tyler Hardwoods Ltd about an exicting new home-grown hardwood product to be installed at the Sylva Wood Centre. The thermally-modified hardwood cladding will be used on the first building at the Sylva Wood Centre. The ash and sycamore cladding has been supplied by Tyler Hardwoods, sourced from woodlands in the south-west of Britain. The development of the product and its installation at the Sylva Wood Centre is supported by Grown in Britain.
Earlier this week the first tenants and users who will move into the Sylva Wood Centre met together for the first time. This was a major milestone for us at Sylva and it was exciting to witness new acquitances made, and even more so when talk of collaboration and sharing soon echoed around the building site.
