About Heartwoods

Heartwoods is a woodland initiative covering the West Midlands managed by the Small Woods Association – a not for profit organisation supporting the woodland and forest industry. Its aim is to bring 10,000 hectares of undermanaged and unmanaged woodland in the West Midlands back into management. To this end, Heartwoods have secured funding through the Rural Development Programme for England to provide a subsidised advisory service to woodland owners.
