A new approach developed in partnership with the National Trust

Forestry + Woodlands
20/09/24 Geneve Brand

A new approach developed in partnership with the National Trust that offers an opportunity for people to get deeply involved in local woodlands, access lower cost firewood, enjoy woodland events and learn new skills.

  • Gain practical experience and skills working alongside a local coppice worker (Gareth!)
  • Offset your fossil fuel use with lower cost and sustainable firewood
  • Enjoy member only woodland events designed around the interests of the members
  • Increase your emotional and physical wellbeing as a result of being involved in your local woodlands

Annual membership is £30 per household. 1 day's enjoyable work in the woods will give a 2ft x 2ft x 3ft stack of timber for £15 (equates to approx. half the usual firewood cost)
