WOODLAND SOCIAL ENTERPRISE NETWORK
As part of Making Local Woods Work, we have established a Facebook networking group to refresh and continue online the interaction begun by the Woodland Social Enterprise Network. The aim of this is to provide a national platform for those involved with woodland social enterprise to discuss ideas, share events and have somewhere to ask questions and find support with day-to-day issues.
Why should I join the networking groups?
If you are involved with woodland social enterprise and would like to talk to people on a national scale, the Facebook network is ideal for you. We know that a lot of our members would like somewhere to discuss ideas together, in a friendly and safe environment, so the woodland social enterprise network group is the perfect opportunity.
You can access the group wherever you are, at any time of the day, so we envisage this being your first port of call to get a quick answer to your question. It is open to anyone involved in woodland social enterprise or interested in the sector.
If you feel your question would be better answered by a Making Local Woods Work team member, do not hesitate to contact us on 01993 810730 or email woodlands@plunkett.co.uk.
