Woodlands on the BBC
On December 28th 2007, BBC breakfast news aired a feature on small woodland ownership which highlighted customers of Woodlands.co.uk.
Tracy and Mike Pepler, who have bought woodland from Woodlands.co.uk, said that their wood was useful for “growing extra timber, great for wildlife” and “great to get away from the desk and contribute to looking after the environment.”
Angus Hanton, Director of Woodlands.co.uk says “Woodland sales are increasing because people are becoming more aware of our countryside and our environment. Our typical owners are buying not for what they can take out of the woodland, but they're buying for what they can put into their woodland and the countryside.”
Your own woodland is unlikely to make you rich but as Tracy and Mike say, “...owning a wood is an investment for the soul.”
