about us

The Special Trees and Woods Project was tremendously successful, largely thanks to a team of committed volunteers who researched and recorded the history of special trees and woods in photographs, paintings, maps, books and direct from local people themselves.

The project's work was managed and coordinated from the Chiltern Woodlands Project office in Chinnor. Liz Manley started as project coordinator in January 2006 and the project was soon achieving greater things than ever imagined. In 2008 we were therefore delighted when the Heritage Lottery Fund agreed to extend the project until March 2010 within the existing budget. At the end of that year Liz left to become a full-time mother and Rachel Sanderson took over, managing the project's activities until it finished.
