Welcome to Working Woodlands Trust
The Working Woodlands Trust aims to encourage greater understanding of woodlands, wood & using wood based products.
This site illustrates some of the many varieties of Traditional Woodland Crafts and how they have come about. These crafts have shaped the woods and the wildlife that lives in them. If you would like to know more about the crafts or the woodlands explore the website or catch up with us at one of our events or meetings.
Key Achievements of the Working Woodlands Trust:-
