Woodland Design and Community Consultation with the Woodland Trust

This commission in East Devon is the Woodland Trust's largest acquisition in the South West. The project required negotiating design solutions with neighbours and communicating the plans to the local community.

Using Google Earth to illustrate woodland creation options with Zulu Ecosystems

Working with Zulu Ecosystems on options for woodland creation on a farm in Exmoor National Park the plans were draped over the 3D terrain in Google Earth to help estate managers understand the options and their landscape implications.

Woodland Design Guidance for Different Organisations

Roger has worked with several organisations creating guidance on woodland creation and forest management, primarily using illustrations and photographs. This is particularly useful for forest managers explaining their proposals and silvicultural practices to those with no prior forestry knowledge.

Forest Planning and Community Woodland Design

Having been involved in planning thousands of hectares of forest across England, and the creation of hundreds of hectares of community forests in Thames Chase, Red Rose, Mersey and the National Forest it is always gratifying to see the scale of landscape change achieved in some of the most deprived areas of England.
