Small Woods is a national charity and company limited by guarantee, with woodland programmes in England, Wales and Scotland. The National Small Woods Association (NSWA) was formed in 1988 as the national organisation for small woodlands. We later became a charity in 2000 under the new name, Small Woods Association. We have 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.
