Registered charity no. 1055228
The Oxfordshire Woodland Group was founded in 1987 to promote the appropriate and sympathetic management of small woods in Oxfordshire. It is a registered charity with powers to promote woodland management and education in Oxfordshire and elsewhere.
The Charity’s Objectives
“To advance the education of the public in the history, ecology, management and economy of woodlands and their place in the landscapes of Oxfordshire and such other areas of the trustees may from time to time decide”.
The Oxfordshire woodland group is a largely donation funded charitable organisation. We hold regular woodland events usually in woodlands belonging to members who have an extensive and in depth knowledge of all aspects of trees and woodland management which they are more than happy to share.
We feel that at a time when woodlands are becoming an increasingly valuable resource for both timber, fuel and recreation we can help both owners and users to get the most from their woods.
Please contact us if you need advice or would like to know more, maybe you’d like to volunteer or even make a donation as sadly money doesn’t grow on trees. We produce a quarterly bulletin called offcuts and if you’d like to subscribe please contact us.

As part of our activities we work closely with the Oxfordshire woodland project.
The Oxfordshire Woodland Project provides a professional small woodland management and advisory service to owners and community groups in Oxfordshire. We aim to offer solutions tailored to the particular requirements of small scale woodland. Where necessary, we innovate to help us meet the new demands we are placing on our woodlands, including woodfuel, biodiversity, quality timber, public amenity and recreation. We work closely with local authorities, charitable foundations, think tanks and communities to make good woodland management achievable for present and future custodians of the county’s woodlands. Despite the tremendous impact of government cuts, we are still able to offer some free services. If you would like to receive additional service, we would agree a price with you in advance.
