‘Woodlands into Management’ is a series of events organised and facilitated by the Small Woods Association in partnership with small woodland owners and workers across the country.
These 1-day events aim to encourage and inspire woodland owners and managers to bring woodlands into sustainable management and overcome some of the barriers that might stand in the way. Each session will provide training, advice, and discussion on a specific aspect of the woodland management process, with experienced guest speakers offering insights.
Join us on Saturday 28th September at Willowburn Wood, south of Edinburgh, for an introduction to sustainable woodland management. James Chapman is a permaculture teacher, consultant and roundwood timber framer. He has been managing his own woodland for the past 8 years in a low-impact way for wildlife, fuel and timber.
The day will include a walk and talk of James’ woodland to understand his management approach, as well as receiving training and guidance on a practical woodland management task. There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion throughout the day.
Thanks to FSC funding this event is running at low-cost. Places are available on a first come first served basis. General admission £5
