The project aims to develop the applicant’s existing tree surgery and firewood business in two areas. The first is in woodland management bringing neglected woodland back into active management.
The business will invest in a specialist mini-forwarder machine that is capable of extracting timber from inaccessible locations, together with a trailer on which to transport the machine.
The second will be to upscale the woodfuel business, increasing firewood production to respond to increasing demand. This will be achieved through the purchase of a mechanical firewood processor.
