Choose Wild!
From Birch Syrup to tree seeds - this week we look at a project that's testing different woodland products that could generate an income for Community Woodlands.
There's a growing number of woodlands in Wales being owned and run by communities. Llais y Goedwig - the community woodland network for Wales say they're all managed differently and for different purposes. For some communities they offer important respite and recreation, which helps improve their local environment. For many of them though, they're managed for nature, biodiversity and the climate. Beyond the social and environmental benefits they can also have an economic benefit. This week, Pauline Smith hears how the Dewis Gwyllt - or Choose Wild - project is finding new ways for community woodlands to develop an income. Following the rhythm of the seasons we begin with Birch sap trials in March, Wild Garlic in the spring, followed by Elderflower and on to tree seeds in the autumn.
