| Activity | Dartington Hall trustees established a Woodland Department in 1927 (1928)? In 1947 they separated its commercial and its research functions and established Dartington Woodlands Limited with woodland and other land leased from the trustees. The new company carried on the same essential organisation structure as did the Woodlands Department. It had its own nurseries (Steward, Moretonhampstead and Broadlears, Dartington), an estate sawmill at Moretonhampstead and two firewood mills at Dartington and Kingswood, and was equipped with tractors, lorries, and portable sawing machinery. |
