WoodLots
needs YOU!
At least a quarter of the annual funds required to put WoodLots
together and deliver it to your door are raised through display
advertising and donations. In order to ensure the continuation of the
WoodLots service we need to meet this target as soon as possible
within the financial year.
Please take a moment to think about the
value you gain from WoodLots - as a reader, advertiser, buyer, seller,
etc, and consider supporting the service by making a financial
contribution.
You can do this in two ways. As an individual, you can make a tax
efficient donation to WoodNet as a WoodLots Friend or as a
business you can place a display advertisement within the
magazine and draw attention to your product, service or business.
A further way to help WoodLots is to become an email subscriber,
particularly if you are on broadband. Rather than receiving a hard
copy 4 times a year, you receive email notification of the latest
issue online - you can browse or download your own copy. Just email
me, jenny@woodnet.org.uk, with a request to become an email
subscriber.
Our funders always like to hear about how effective WoodLots is, so
please let me know how WoodLots is working for you - increased
business, useful contacts, helpful information, a good sale or
purchase, a new job or employee - just a brief note or email
explaining any benefits WoodLots has given you will help us raise the
funds required to keep the service going.
Back to this issue - we have Richard Smith’s comments on the
dramatic changes in the soft-wood market and a request for your
feedback (pages 8-10), news about the Oak Processionary Moth,
information on grants, certification and the recently published
Woodfuel Strategy for England, all in the News
section. You’ll find opportunities to survey
ancient trees, for subsidised training and for supplying charcoal.
Plus, of course, nearly 300 advertisements connecting the timber, tree
and wood using businesses and organisations throughout the South
East.
I hope you enjoy this issue.
