You may choose to join us just to help support us financially or you may want a real say in how things are run. You may want to be a volunteer, to help in a general way or to offer some special skill you may have.

But the best part for you may be that when you walk in the woods you can think to yourself "This is our land".

Blaen Bran Community Woodland is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee and was set up in December 2004.

For only £10 per year you can become a member of Blaen Bran Community Woodland, and (if you wish) have an active role in the management of the wood.
