Living Woods North East Community Interest Company

Mark has been in the North East since 2003, having been based in various parts of UK, and spending significant time on overseas development projects. He comes from a background in countryside management, and now divides his time between working on small-scale woodland and forestry working, food growing projects for clients, and looking after his own small-holding where he grows food and also produces apple trees. He teaches permaculture design in the North East and also has taught it in Scotland and Romania. He is passionate about local, regional and global sustainability and resilience, and also about bringing woodlands back into sustainable management in our own region – one of his key focuses within LWNE.
