This project is aimed at the regeneration of an ancient broadleaf woodland near Monmouth. Integral to this will be the commercial processing, production and sale of several timber based products into the local economy. Activity will encompass the following areas:
- Thinning, pruning and coppicing within the woodland to create a strong and healthy top canopy and under storey of trees suitable for production and craft purposes
- The planting, harvesting and processing of hardwood timbers for craft production and commercial sale
- The purchase of suitable equipment to do this in a steep and craggy terrain and to equip the barn workshop with a range of machine tools to be used by personnel safely and efficiently
- The installation of an off grid solar energy and grey water collection system to the main barn building to provide sustainable power and water supplies
