Joanna McClure

Long time Administrator/Office Manager (many other things too numerous to mention).  Love being in the woods and supporting woodland management/sustainability and the many skills to come out of the woods.  Interested in encouraging and supporting coppicing, UK charcoal/biochar production, horse logging etc,  I am also interested in learning more about fungi and mycelium, our amazing  worldwide organic network .

I am interested in supporting where and when I can the introduction of woodland spaces/energy  to children and people with mental health issues, actually for anybody, but I know that especially for children and people with mental health issues, there are great advantages/learning and healing to be had in spending time in the deeply organic world of our forests and woodland.

So basically, I want to support the trees. I can never support them as fully as they do us, but will do my best, and by offering my services as secretary I can support the woodland workers,  some of whom have made it their full-time employment and others who venture into the woods on a part time basis. All of them have learnt so much from the trees and other woodland workers.  They therefore possess  great knowledge and skills which I hope, where and whenever they can, they will pass on to interested people and the next generation.
