Our Woods in Trust scheme  

Your intended beneficiaries might not be in a position to manage your woodland going forward.

If you bequeath your woodland to Small Woods, under our developing Woods in Trust scheme, we would ensure it will continued to be cared for and sustainably managed ourselves, or seek a sympathetic buyer to safeguard your woodland - enabling it to thrive long into the future, should that be your wish.
