Thanks, it's being run by Northwoods - Supporting Woodland Owners & Forestry Innovators | Northwoods - and the Country Food Trust - The Country Food Trust - Charity - are providing the food so we can't claim too much credit!

Just seen this and typically, unfortunately, on the wrong day for me, but hope you have a good day as it sounds very interesting.
Is this a one off event or are there likely to be other future dates?

Thanks, it was a very informative and useful day. We'll see if more can be arranged, and also have a geographic spread around the country!
