[Tree-project-organise] Flier, woodlands and meeting???

Wed Jan 1 03:12:59 CET 2014

Interesting

the link to the gov document was broken.

fixed here

http://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/burials-and-coroners/natural-burial-grounds-guidance.pdf

I would support this as part of a bigger plan for a site and see no 
reason, with enough space, why it could not fit in.  It obviously would 
require ownership or a very long term agreement for a piece of land.

Currently I'm keen to focus my energies on action in woodlands - doing 
stuff with trees / timber.  Getting groups of people (us lot?) together 
into bits of woodland etc. etc.  I'd really like to cut some wood this 
winter that we can use to do stuff with.
