<b>Letter</b><b> to landowners</b><b><br>
</b>It would be good to draft a letter that could be given to land
owners stating our ideas and that we are looking at land.<br>
There was some discussion about whether this is necessary right now
as we have 3 sites where it looks like we may be able to do some
stuff.<br>
There was some discussion about the best way to approach land
owners. Purely as a forestry enterprise wanting access to woodland
for timber/firewood or as a social project - is this going to be
scary for land owners? <br>
<br>
<b>Woodland Burials</b><b><br>
</b>Spence has been working on a proposal for a woodland burial
service which would provide a complete service for people who are
recently bereaved. His research has showed that there is a strong
business case and that existing services are somewhat lacking in
their sensitivity. <br>
<br>
<b>Structure in Harveys/Nicks woodland</b><b><br>
</b>Harvey has asked if we would like to build a structure (barn?)
with him in the woods that he operates near Barcombe.<br>
We decided this would be a nice thing to do. We can expect to have
use of the structure and could build something simple with a few
days work. One to cut the poles in the woods, one to erect the
structure, one to do the roof.<br>
<b>Action points -</b><b><br>
</b><b>
*Avery and Lenny go look at the woods </b><b>for suitable
timber/site<br>
</b><b>
*Avery price up screws etc. for the barn building</b><br>
<br>
<b>Preston Park woods</b><b><br>
</b>Marion (the owner) has been away quite a bit but should be back
now. Spences' ideas should be of interest as she considered having
some burials on there a good way to protect the site from
developers. We had a look at land registry maps and discussed the
fact that the relatively small space available is going to limit
burials and/or other activities there. <br>
<b>Action point</b><b>-<br>
</b><b>
*Spence and Avery to talk to Marion about her site </b><br>
<br>
<b>Rapoports woodland<br>
</b>We have the potential to get some long ash poles and a long
spruce pole from a woodland near Gatwick. Any interest?? <b><br>
</b> <br>
<b>Shop space in Lewis High Street</b><br>
Avery has been exploring paying for a bit of wall space in a new
garden centre/shop on Lewis High Street where we could promote the
project.<br>
