Chainsaw chips are essentially hardwood shavings from our firewood operations. We supply bulk bags of chainsaw chips for £20 (inclusive of VAT). It has a variety of uses and is Ideal for composting, mulching and animal bedding.
Two year seasoned firewood logs sourced from a variety of sustainably managed Leeds woodland is now available to order.
On top of our already generous bulk discount orders we are offering a further £5 discount on all firewood logs if you order before September 1st 2023.
This year our firewood stack is Oak dominant with good amounts of Hazel, Ash and Sycamore to get your fire roaring. All bags are mixed species and logs are cut at approximately 23cm and split where possible. Due to the nature of coppiced woodlands, log size does vary.
Firewood is sold in bulk bags that measure 0.9 x 0.9 x 0.8 M. We aim to deliver firewood (loose, as we reuse the bags) as close to your preferred drop off that our truck will allow. We charge £15 (per bag) for moving firewood more than 5 meters by hand and another £15 (per bag) for stacking if desired.
We are also able to offer net bags of softwood kindling, however kindling can only be ordered in addition to firewood.
Please note we have a 7 mile free delivery zone from our wood yard in LS16. After that delivery is charged at £1.50 per mile there and back.
Volunteer Dates for the coming season are now live. We’ll be hosting volunteer days at Nutwood, Hetchel Woods, Town Close and Bramham. We’ll update venues as soon as we know.
If you’d like to come along please email us and let us know so we can gauge numbers. You’ll need to bring work clothes and boots, water proofs, warm layers, work gloves, lunch and drink. We’ll supply hot drinks and snacks.
Our volunteer days can encompass a wide range of activities required as part of coppicing, from laying hazel, installing fencing, producing fascines, and shifting firewood. People will undertake a mix of activities throughout the day, and it is generally a physical and lovely day out in the woods. We usually start at 8.30 and finish at 3.30.
