RFS WHOLE SOCIETY MEETING NOTTS & LINCS - MAY 2004

摘要

This May saw yet another successful RFS Whole Society Meeting. A full programme of visits to properties in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire encompassed a wife range of private, public and community forestry.The Whole Society Meeting opened with a fanfare: Welbeck Estate. Members were welcomed in Lady Margaret Hall by Mr Willian Parente, nephew of owner Lady Anne Bentinck. He introduced the agent, Robin Brown and woodlands manager, Jock MacPherson. A quote from 'English Trees' by early 20th centuryCzech writer Karel Capek met with spontaneous appreciation. So did a huge, decorative 'RFS' of wired ivy, the work of Karen Tirrell.
