Newly appointed trustee Luke Hughes, has been writing about his motivation for supporting the Sylva Foundation on his company website:
‘The Sylva Foundation is one of the most intelligently focussed forestry initiatives around today, with clear attainable objectives. These specifically include how, through research and training, British woodlands can be better managed to face the unprecedented threats from climate change, pests and diseases and the economic viability of home-grown timber. Over the last ten years, I’ve been lecturing on similar themes all round the world, so it is particularly heartening to be able to support an organisation that is so actively putting theory into practice’.
