We've had a request from Dr James Littlemore, a lecturer in countryside management and agriculture at Moulton College. His students have designed an online survey to gauge public demand for woodland products and they are trying to get as many people to complete it as they can. I've just done it and it only takes a couple of minutes.
Woodland Management and the Launch of a Woodland Products Survey!
The last decade has seen a resurgence of interest in items produced sustainably from our native woodlands. Yet in our region, there is no information on markets for greenwood products. Can you help us out?
Moulton College students studying Countryside and Wildlife Management have teamed up with the Small Woods Association (http://smallwoods.org.uk/) and the Rockingham Forest Coppice Group (http://www.ncfed.org.uk/) to design an online public survey to help identify the current and future demand for woodland products and training courses in this region. It is hoped that the results from this questionnaire will assist local forest crafts people and woodland owners and help them to manage their woods more sustainably for both wildlife and timber production.
So this is where you come in - we would greatly appreciate your thoughts so please help us by filling out the brief online survey and send it out to as many other interested people as you know. This is the link to the online survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HQFR3JB.

Thank you!
