The Woodland Heritage was founded in 1994 by Peter Goodwin and Lewis Scott, who quickly secured the backing of a group of traditional cabinet makers, who collectively wanted to improve the way in which trees were grown, maintained and harvested in the UK.
The small group of environmentally minded producers was rapidly joined by many hundreds of individuals with concerns for our woodland environment: furniture retailers, timber merchants, tree growers and colleges.
Nearly 30 years later, Peter and Lewis’ ‘acorn’ of a charity has grown and achieved so much, thanks to the backing of people and organisations that believed, and continue to believe, in the vision of the two Founders and who have helped Woodland Heritage to succeed.
Woodland Heritage unites all tree people – a unique vehicle for wood users (and consumers) to “put something back” and contribute to the proper management of British trees. We all use wood; but do we all grow trees – support for Woodland Heritage helps to complete that equation.
