Where are you based and what are your opening times?
LCW are based in North Leeds. Our wood yard is currently not open to the public so any product bought directly from us will need to be collected from one of our members in LS4 or LS8, unless delivery is arranged.
Providing payment has been made, you can collect from us whenever is most convenient for you once we have collected your order from the yard. This might take a week
We aim to answer all queries within 1 working day. Please bear with us whilst we get back to you.
Do you do delivery?
We operate a 7 mile free delivery zone on all firewood orders. Orders on other products do not have a free delivery zone. We are always happy to discuss delivery options, but it is usually not economical on smaller orders. Products (excluding firewood) can always be arranged to be picked up in person.
Does anyone else sell your products in Leeds?
Yes, Vale Stables on Grove lane (Leeds) sell our Charcoal and York Gate Garden in Adel stock our bean poles and pea sticks.
What payment methods do you accept?
Our preferred method of payment is BACS, we also accept card payments. We do not take cash or cheque payments due to the time involved in processing them.
I’d like to volunteer, how do I go about it?
Great stuff! There’s lots more info over on our volunteering page. If you’d like to find out about dates, please email us and ask to be added to our volunteer mailing list.
WHAT IS COPPICING?
Coppicing is a technique of cutting a tree back to ground level in order to stimulate growth. As a traditional form of managing woodland, coppicing maximises the capacity of many broad-leaved tree species to create new shoots from their stump when cut down. This stump, which provides a renewable source of rods, is known as a stool. Small areas, known as ‘coupes’ (or copses) are cut on a cycle that ensures there are different ages of trees throughout a whole woodland. Some trees are retained as larger trees and are known as standards. Coppicing also mimics the natural effect that windblown trees have to a woodland floor, letting in light that allows new species to thrive, contributing to increased species diversity. Coppicing has been an active method of managing woodlands for specific products in Britain for centuries.
