Ray Perry gives us an insight into how he has changed the way he has come to view his woodland, then goes on to tell of his experience of hosting a SWOG meeting.

Andy Noble and his co instructor Paul from Natures Craft put on a great bushcraft day for SWOG members.  Held at Lords Wood in Hampshire, the day was a nice mix of practical skills  and the sharing of knowlege and ideas.

Deer are one of the biggest threats to woodland management – where their population density is too high, they over-graze the land and damage trees and rare plants as well as the habitats of other mammals, birds and insects.

David Brown from SEWAF (the South East Woodland Archaeology Forum), has compiled a new newsletter for the group.

This is a very worthwhile  project based at Woods Mill near Henfield and covering a large part of the west weald of Sussex and southern Surrey. You can download their latest newsletter here, or visit the website.  It’s  full of interesting information and articles, especially if you live or have a woodland in the area.
