Small Woods is delighted to welcome a new corporate sponsor to help support our work in sustainable woodland management and social forestry.
Law firm Mills & Reeve is providing significant investment in a long-term biodiversity partnership with us. To launch the collaboration, Mills & Reeve shared this video of why they were moved to support our charity.
The financial contribution by Mills & Reeve will help to develop woodlands, such as Edge Wood, which we manage in Shropshire, and will help fund a social forestry coordinator. It will also cover:
Our CEO Simon James welcomed the collaboration and described it as “a testament to the power of long-term, dedicated investment in nature's recovery.”
“This partnership with Mills & Reeve is a significant step forward in our mission to preserve and enhance the biodiversity of our woodlands,” he said. “By combining our expertise in woodland management with Mills & Reeve's commitment to sustainability, we can ensure that these vital ecosystems continue to thrive for generations to come. Together, we’re not only protecting the environment but also enriching the lives of the communities connected to these woodlands.”
Jessica Wilkes-Ball, head of sustainability and net zero at Mills & Reeve, commented: “The impact of Small Woods' work is evident. Our investment will help to expand these efforts, and underscores Mills & Reeve’s commitment to preserving biodiversity and supporting local communities. This is a project that not only gives back to the land but gives back to the people. We’re hearing stories about the impact that Small Woods is having, and we’re happy to be able to continue their work through this investment.”
A team of volunteers from Mills & Reeve joined us at Edge Wood last month to see first-hand how their investment will be used to make a difference.
