| A small group of friends, living in the south of England, found they shared a common passion for working in woodlands or on the land. Each had, for some time, been looking for his own piece of land to rent or buy. It was discovered that Norton Covert (the name of the 16 hectare woodland now known as Tinker's Bubble), near Yeovil in Somerset, was on the market. While it seemed an ideal site, it was larger than any of them had been considering and beyond any of their individual means. Therefore, the obvious approach was to consider some kind of co-operative purchase. In fact one individual invested a significant proportion of the total capital required. The principal aim at the time was to gain access to woodland that could be worked. Individual dreams or visions were not identical at the outset, though most shared a common outlook having met through road protests and similar initiatives. http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/tinker.pdf/$FILE/tinker.pdf | |
