Follow our journey creating Struan’s Wood in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. From buying land and obtaining grants, to woodland design, planting and beyond.

In April 2024 we purchased 5 acres of land with the intention of transforming it from a grazing field into a woodland. The aim is to create a haven of reflection and remembrance for us as individuals, whilst improving biodiversity and woodland resilience for the planet. We are charting our journey through this blog to provide resources for anyone else who is considering a similar project. Rich is a Chartered Forester with 10 years experience in the industry.
