The Society recently had the chance to talk at a conference on woodlands organised by the Middle Marches Community Land Trust. This made us pull our socks up and revamp our standard PowerPoint presentation that tells the story of our formation and activities, the history of Brineddin Wood, and what our plans are for our two quillets. The presentation was well received by the audience, so if you are a member of an organisation that might like to hear it, do get in touch with Patrick Cosgrove at pccosgrove@icloud.com.

One of the other presenters was Richard Thomason of Wild about Westwood, well known for his expertise on hazel coppicing. He showed a short film about his work that has just been produced by Shropshire CPRE. It’s well worth setting ten minutes aside to watch – click here.
