The latest SWOG newsletter is a sun-filled extravaganza of woodland entertainment.

First, our good friends at Bentley are offering an early-bird discount to the 20th anniversary woodfair on 18-20 September.

There are wonderful contributions from woodland owners: George Smith explains why he decided to buy a wood and describes the sheer fun it gives him and his family, while Andy Malleson describes how he created a hedge with help from family and friends.

The British Woodlands Survey will explore how woodland owners are working to adapt their woods for climate change: please take the survey which is hosted by the Sylva Foundation here.

Finally, John Clark explains how to purify water in the wild.
