I also discovered and became a member of, Woodland Heritage. Their philosophy and aims seemed very much in tune with not only what we were trying to do in our own small way, but what was beneficial to the development and promotion of the woodland sector as a whole – and which I’m sure my uncle would have wholeheartedly agreed with.
