Managing our woodland

We have 80 hectares of woodland including hazel copse and ancient woodland which we manage sustainably to supply wood and woodchip to heat 5 houses and a variety of commercial units. We run one 100kw and one 30kw Guntamatic woodchip boiler and one 110kw ETA wood chip boiler on the farm. Together, these replace the need for 8 oil-fired boilers.

We only harvest material from our woodlands between September - March to avoid ground nesting bird season and minimise disruption to other woodland species when they are most active.

We are following a ten year woodland management plan to make the most of our natural resources and ensure its longevity.
