What We Offer
Horse Logging
Horses can be a cost-effective low impact solution for extracting a wide range of timber produce. Small size and high manoeuvrability enables them to work in the tightest spaces with minimum damage to flora and fauna.
Horse Experience Days
Get hands on experience of working with horses in local woods. Working as a single, harnessing up, pulling logs as a single, and working your way up to pair work.
Locally Made Charcoal
Natural charcoal from the heart of Worcestershire. Free from binders, accelerators and other additives. No need for fire lighters. Just grab some paper and away you go. Heats in approximately 10 minutes and maintains its heat.
Coppice Products
Hedging materials (stakes and binders), bean poles, pea sticks, and garden canes. A Sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to imported bamboo cut from local woodland and creating habitat for native wildlife.
