Small Woods is a national charity and company limited by guarantee, with woodland programmes in England, Wales and Scotland. Small Woods was formed in 1988 as the national organisation for small woodlands, it has a significant track record in managing Social Forestry projects, as well as projects to promote sustainable management of small woodlands for social, environmental and economic benefit.
