South West England Ward Forester Project Areas

The Ward Forester project is jointly funded by Devon County Council (DCC) and the Forestry Commission (FC) and is designed as a pilot to meet the need to bring woodland into management, engaging with woodland owners in new opportunities to manage their woodlands collectively, to develop woodfuel and other wood related supply chains and help deliver Regional targets for sourcing future energy supplies from renewable sources. Ward Forester is a partnership project, funded by the Forestry Commission and Devon County Council. The project will mainly concentrate on several main search areas: Teign, Tamar, Taw and North Devon. This does not however mean that if clusters emerge outside these areas they will be excluded from the project. Attributes: Descriptr = Name of the project area
