Tom Murphy has been in touch, he is the project co-ordinator for the Working Woodlands Project which is run by the New Forest Land Advice Service part of the bigger, forest-wide “Our Past Our Future” initiative.
The Working Woodlands project works with the owners of small woodlands within the New Forest National Park boundary, offering advice, management planning and practical assistance through the use of volunteers and where necessary, professional contractors to help bring woodlands back into active management.
Further information can be found on the the New Forest National Park Authority website at:
