Abstract
Lowland woodlands in this country are being neglected due the low commercial value of the timber that should normally be felled as thinnings -those trees removed to allow others to reach maturity.
The School for Woodland Industry is a project which aims to regenerate woodland management and rural industry. The structures forming the school have developed a number of innovative ways in which small roundwood can be utilized for building construction and will also stimulate general interest in the revitalization of British woodlands. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
