There have been plans for the woodland in the past, so this may deter them from being co'operative. I have E.mailed the Woodland Trust and will contact The Forestry Commision, in the new year.
Thank you for your help and advice.

the father of one of my freinds is high up in the MOD and also a guy i was at college with is now one of the conservation officers for the MOD estate so if you encounter resistance let me know and I'll see if either of them can intercede. You might be pleasantly suprised however, and they might even kick in some dosher , as this kind of project has the potential to be good PR
You do need them on board however as you wont get a grant without having the landowners permission.
when you get to grant application stage i would be happy to have a look at your application before it goes in (applying for third party funding was a big part of my last job)
