NOMINATIONS are being invited for the Royal Forestry Society’s Excellence in Forestry Awards – even from our densely-populated part of the country.

Tom Williams, who chairs its Home Counties division, urges woodland owners and organisations to help showcase the best of woodland management and woodland learning.

He says: “We are looking to show how community woodland and small woods are important to areas which are relatively built up, how larger, well-managed woodland can bring benefits to an area over many generations and to uncover woodland learning projects which will inspire others around the country.”

The awards are open until March 5 and applications are invited from West London and Buckinghamshire.
