At Hill Holt Wood we approach the management of the woodland in a traditional sense, as a habitat to be conserved but we also look to the future and utilise the natural resource to achieve employment, education and training goals.
Hill Holt Wood is a small (34-acre) woodland where over twenty people are employed providing countryside management services, working with at-risk, excluded or unemployed young people or as the base of a sustainable construction company.
Hill Holt Wood is both a charity and an environmental social enterprise, both arms of the organisation are each controlled by a voluntary board of directors representing local communities and councils as well as local and national businesses. The financial surplus generated by the enterprise is given to the charity.
It is our goal to be an exemplar site demonstrating true sustainability - environmental, social and economic.
"Having a community link is essential for sustainability” Founder Nigel Lowthrop
