nurturing a wood culture, growing a future
Are you a woodland owner, manager or forestry professional with views and experiences you could share with researchers about public access to woodlands? If so, you are invited to take part in the latest British Woodlands Survey exploring all aspects of public access to woodlands.
Catch-up on the Woodland Management Planning webinar with Sylva Foundation, Cumbria Woodlands and Evolving Forests.
Recently we were delighted to host a workshop at the Sylva Wood Centre for the South-East regional group of the Institute of Chartered Foresters discussing Biodiversity Net Gain.
A very special new role is open to applicants at Sylva Foundation’s Wood School in Oxfordshire. Do you have a passion for woodworking, furniture making, gender diversity and environmental sustainability? Would you like to shape and lead a major three-year project aiming to increase the gender diversity of the heritage woodwork and furniture making sector?
Back in March our partners CloudForest released a report on challenges in the UK’s small-scale timber supply chain. “Homewood bound? Challenges along the UK’s small-scale timber supply chain from forest to construction” delves into the issues across the wood-chain. A new blog now provides bite-sized highlights of some of the issues raised.
We are delighted to announce that our Director of Operations Paul Orsi has been promoted to Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Foresters. Fellowship of the ICF is an honoured position and an acknowledgement of dedication, experience and achievements, only awarded to members who show a significant contribution to the profession.
A new resource for Woodland Management Planning is now available to support myForest users in England. Whether you are a new woodland owner or further along the process, this support will underpin the entire planning journey and help you create a Forestry Commission approved Woodland Management Plan.
The Sylva Wood Centre is taking part in Oxfordshire Artweeks again this year and opening the Wood School and workshops to the public, on 18/19 May.
A newly launched high-tech online application is set to transform the way landowners, managers and ecologists across the UK carry out woodland surveys.
Continuing our outreach work, we have supported even more students through myForest, this time in Scotland.
