Our basic motive is encouraging interest and awarness of sustainable woodland use and activity - The trees we use are either thinnings, deer-damaged or coppice. The removal of all three encourages growth of the surrounding trees, supports regeneration and does not harm the woods.

Adding basic value to what could otherwise be firewood by simple manufacturing of every day items such as kitchenware and stools - woodland management is then a by-product of woodland use .

Participation in an environmental activity is the major product. Encouraging active participation regardless of ability, everyone can have a go. Even if it's splitting the wood with a froe and mallet, it's still a very important part of the process and well within most people's ability.
