for Woodland

Donate a Woodland!!

Well if you don't ask you don't get I suppose. We would love to be the stewards of our own woodland ideally somewhere within our working range, but our working range is dynamic of course and growing as more and more like-minded woodsmen come on board, so anywhere in the UK.

A Charitable Trust

We would set up a charitable trust to own the woodland, so no individual or business would benefit from the transfer. The woodland would be dedicated to the local community, maintained and cared for by us. A covenant could be placed on the land at the time of transfer to protect it from resale or being split up. Various damaging, anti-social activities, or commercial activites like 4x4 rallying, paintballing, commerical campsites, motorbike racing e.t.c. could also be outlawed. You would be invited to be one of the trustees and so become a part of its development and not lose a say in its stewardship.

What would we do with it?

We would like to put in place a sustainable woodland management programme to act as a working template for the next 100 years of its existence and beyond.

We would like to set up areas of non-intervention, areas to be worked and areas as woodland classrooms. The woodland we envisage would become a place for education, peaceful enjoyment and contemplation. As well as this it would of course be a nature reserve and woodland safegaurded for future generations.

We would like to set up productive activities such as wild mushrooms growing on logs, charcoal burning, woodland crafts e.t.c. The revenue being used to further the aims of the woodland.

Ultimately we would maintain it as British Native Woodland
