Oxfordshire Woodland Project
The Project was set up by the Oxfordshire Woodland Group in 1991 in partnership with the local authorities, the Countryside Commission and the Northmoor Trust. The Project Manager advises owners of small woodlands on the appropriate management needed to encourage wildlife, protect the landscape and provide an income, depending on the interests of the woodland owner. More recently, the objectives of the Project have expanded to include giving advice on larger woods and new plantings where appropriate.
Activities and services:
- Free and impartial woodland management advice (often in the form of a five-year plant of operations) which includes sourcing plants, contractors, etc
- Woodland Services Directory
