"Our vision is a UK rich in woods and trees, enjoyed and valued by everyone.
We aim to create new native woodland with the help of communities, schools, organisations and individuals. We try to protect our precious ancient woods, restore the ones that are damaged and fight for those under threat. We do this by inspiring people up and down the country to visit woods, plant trees, and enjoy the many benefits that woodland has to offer."

Oh man this is creepy as hell! After reading this Olivia said I should put a skull in one of the tree's but I want to keep this as not scary as possible!
Paganism
Since Paganism is somewhat about worshipping nature I thought this could somehow be incorporated into my woodland book. I tried to find if any ceremonies were hosted specifically in woodlands, I do not recall finding anything specific. Leeds has a pretty large group of Pagan's in it though. I feel like I could use this for a future project.

The Bandstand at Woodhouse Ridge was used as a social gathering place in Edwardian times - I found this a very interesting fact given that now all that's left of the bandstand is the concrete floor.
