NorthwoodsThe North East's Woodland Initiative

The Northwoods Steering Group is made up of representatives from 13 local and national organisations, each of whom has an interest in the Regions' trees and timber sector. All of these organisations give their time to Northwoods, providing a combination of help in-kind, direct financial support and advice. The Steering Group meets quarterly to review Northwoods' activities, provide guidance and information to its staff and approve and advise on future work programmes.
