Woodlands need our care and protection to realise their potential. When managed and used well, our woodlands are vital to thriving local economies, wildlife, and the wellbeing of communities, as well as hugely valuable in the fight against climate change. Small Woods is a thriving community with a shared passion for UK woodlands. We believe in the environmental, social, economic and cultural benefits of bringing woodlands & people together.

We will use our community expertise to increase the number of productive woodlands and advise the best use of woodlands for their owners / managers. For health & wellbeing, encouraging the use of woodlands for social forestry through community projects - helping people get healthy the woodland way. Educating to protect woodlands.
