Hi all,
I know the topic of gaining permission to use woodland for bushcraft has been covered many times but I have a few questions I can't find answers to.
I usually go to my local public woodland to practice my bushcraft but over the last few years it has become a lot more heavily used and finding secluded areas is becoming increasingly difficult for things such as fire lighting, using tools and the odd overnights.
My aim for the new year is to get out more and find somewhere I can get permission to use, probably leading with nature photography to get a foot in the door and going on from there, I would be happy to offer assistance with woodland management or even a small fee for using a small wood but am really struggling to find anyone to contact.
Is there any resource available that shows woodlands and who owns them that may help me track down possible contacts.
I am fully expecting lots of rejections or no answers but until I can start asking I'm in a pretty much no win situation.
I am sure there are some privately owned woods near me (Hersham, Surrey) but when I am out wandering there is no demarcation or signage to help me out.
Hope that makes sense and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Hamster
