Martin Wood 1927-2021
I am greatly saddened by the death of my friend, colleague, and patron, Sir Martin Wood FRS aged 94 years.
I worked closely with Martin for most of my professional career, creating the forestry research programme for Earth Trust (then Northmoor Trust), initiating projects for a network which became the Future Trees Trust, and co-founding Sylva Foundation. Martin wrote the Introductory Note to The New Sylva (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2014).
