New Forest aspirations

fund grant £1,590
total project cost £3,180 (50% of total)

Now complete, this project provides opportunities for disadvantaged people who were participating in a wood occupations training course to visit the New Forest to learn about woodland management and timber production.  Participants from a variety of socially-excluded backgrounds in Southampton explored the origins of timber, the role of woodlands in our ecological systems and the positive leisure potential of the New Forest through visits to woodland sites and wood-based local businesses.
