Woods Furniture is donating £10 to Dorset Wildlife Trust for every purchase worth over £250 throughout April. Visitors to the showroom will also receive a cherry tree to plant at home, both adorning their garden and benefiting wildlife.

The support of local people is vital to the future of Dorset’s wildlife and we welcome this link with local business and local shoppers.”
