Boxwood Project in Oxfordshire

An ambitious long-term plan to replenish the supply of boxwood in the Chilterns, Oxfordshire for musical instruments for future generations. Box trees are very slow-growing, often taking more than 100 years to become large enough for a hautboy. Huw is a leading advocate of fairly harvested hardwoods for musical instruments, having also worked in East Africa to preserve and responsibly harvest remaining stands of grenadilla.
