Maximising Timber Values for Woodland Owners in England - 2012
Jez Ralph, Technical Advisor at the Silvanus Trust, completed a Nuffield Farming Scholarship in 2012. The Scholarship enabled travel to America, India and New Zealand to look at opportunities for investment, adding value to timber and marketing, particularly small-scale timber engineering.
The Nuffield Farming Scholarship Trust provides a unique opportunity to those in agriculture, forestry and other land use industries to travel and study their industry abroad, though there have been few applications from the forestry sector.

Updated Strategic Study - April 2009 In December 2008 EKOS, in association with Lockhart Garratt Ltd and Professor Colin Price of Bangor University, was commissioned by South West Woodland Renaissance to update the 2002 Strategic Economic Study of South West England Woodland Forestry.
EKOS also undertook an evaluation of South West Woodland Renaissance (SWWR). This evaluation provided a rounded appreciation of the direct economic and more qualitative, additional impacts of the Woodland Renaissance scheme. It complements the earlier SWRDA commissioned evaluation of the whole Rural Renaissance programme which focussed on process. The evaluation is available on request.
