South East Woodland News

Promoting thriving woodlands in England’s most wooded region

South East Woodland News has two aims:

  • To raise awareness about the value of woods and about the care that they need if they are to survive and thrive
  • To help those who are not yet managing their woods and those relatively new to woodland management by directing them to sources of woodland–related information, advice and support
