After my summer spent with Mike Abbott in Herefordshire last year, I was very grateful to Woodland Heritage for giving me some funding to spend the winter training with coppice worker, Ben Law, in West Sussex.
In early October I took part in Mark Yorke’s practical workshop entitled "Transforming even-aged plantations into diverse and uneven-aged forests and woods. An alternative to clear-felling."
On Saturday 30th October 2004 I accompanied Peter Goodwin to a meeting of the Small Woods Association. This meeting as held at Ferry Farm Woods near Calstock in Cornwall.
Three first year students developing skills in woodland survey. Within the first week of classes, students are in the field observing nature and learning how to use survey equipment.
