THERE will be an inaugural meeting for the newly-formed Blackdown Hills Woodland Association in July.

The meeting will take place on Monday, July 4, at the Forbes Lounge, Hemyock Parish Hall.

The BHWA represents the interests of woodland owners and timber-using businesses on the Blackdown Hills.

The Blackdown Hills Rural Partnership assists with the organisation of the group for which there are currently 50 members and the association is keen to encourage more recruits.
