In the autumn issue we’re celebrating woodlands with Ray Hawes, the Trust’s Head of Trees and Woodlands. He shares his lifelong love of trees and why he’s spent a career looking after woodlands for nature and people alike. 

Discover what the paint colour on our walls can reveal about the past with Paintings Conservation Adviser Christine Sitwell, follow in the footsteps of the Anglo-Saxons at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk and learn what it takes to conserve one of the oldest and largest tapestries in Trust care from Textile Conservation Studio Manager Maria Jordan.
