Sylva has again teamed up with the Department of Continuing Education at the University of Oxford, to hold a one day course on 30th November<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The day course is designed for anyone with an interest in trees and woodlands. England\u2019s woodlands have provided for our needs for many centuries, leading to a strong culture of appreciating and using wood, however in recent decades their care and management has declined. Additionally our woodlands are now facing unprecedented threats from environmental change, pests and diseases.<\/p>\n

Some have heralded 2013 as a turning point for the fortunes of English Woodlands. Join us to hear and discuss how a revival of a \u2018wood culture\u2019 in England may lead to sustainable woodlands and greater quality of life.<\/p>\n
