The Sylva Foundation is a tree and forestry organisation established in 2008, and registered as a charity in England and Wales in 2009. It is based in a rural location in the small village of Little Wittenham in Oxfordshire, England. It is concerned with the advancement and promotion of sustainable forest management. It was the brain child of Sir Martin Wood and Dr Gabriel Hemery and was formed through the work of the forestry think tank Forestry Horizons, established in 2006.〔(Forestry Horizons. )〕 Sylva is a charity that places economics at the heart of its support for sustainable forest management. It has a national perspective with a focus on practical solutions at local and regional levels. Sylva is not a membership-based charity. It functions as a lean organisation, working widely in partnership with other organisations. The Sylva Foundation's main programmes are Forestry, Education and Science.〔(Sylva Foundation ).〕 == Science == Sylva runs the forestry think-tank, Forestry Horizons, which operates at national and international levels seeking to advance and support forest science (e.g.,〔Forest Science editorial Board: http://www.forestscience.info/about.asp?action=editorialboard〕〔T10Q project:http://dps4.plants.ox.ac.uk/supporters.html〕 ) and forest policy (e.g.,〔The Foundation for Science and Technology http://www.foundation.org.uk/events/pdf/20080704_Summary.pdf〕〔Private Sector Production Forecasting Working Group: http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/INFD-7J5KRD〕 ).
