The postman delivered the current edition of the Small Woods Association’s “Smallwoods” magazine today, for New Year 2019.
As well as the usual news roundup, letters, and book reviews, the feature articles include:
- Carbon capture in wood
- Identifying signs of mammals
- The first in a series of articles on woodland planning permission and other controls
- Buying and selling woods
- 100 years of the Forestry Commission
- The Oliver Rackham archive of books and papers
- Weaving a willow basket
- One member’s wood, planted by them in 1995
- Blue tits in woodland
I was really pleased to see the planning article, which again brought up some of the themes of the Long Tail essay. I’m looking forward to the next article in the series, on the details of the planning system (the bare bones of which are in the Planning Law page on this site.)
