The approach of winter means felling season will soon be upon us. When we fell trees we then need to extract the timber in order to process it. This allows us to fund the upkeep and management of the woods.
Wispa is an important member of our team. She is our muscle! We use her to help to extract the timber. This allows us to keep damage to the woodland to a minimum as we do not need to bring in big heavy machinery....if its too big for Wispa we make it small enough! Luckily, most of our timber is turned into charcoal so we are able to reduce the size of anything too large to haul, before we move it.
Having spent the summer in a field, this morning was a gentle wander up to the woods.....just a little reminder what life is actually about! π

The joy of locally produced, sustainable, British charcoal β€
Short video of Ash with Die Back hitting the deck! Felled in our woods today.
Someone asked how they were doing, so here you are. We had one escapee whilst we were away. Amazing what tiny holes they can squish through! Still have Dash and Pippin....despite Pippin's best efforts! π€£
This is for you Mrs G! π
