Membership
Thinking of joining us? Here are some of the benefits of joining the Wood fuel Group:-
Work in the wood – What could be better than sharing a day in the woodlands with a group of like-minded people, meeting new friends and making a real difference to the management of the woodland, the community and the environment.
Well being – Taking time away from our normal routines to work in the natural environment is a great way to relieve stress, breathe in the fresh air and exercise yourself all at the same time. Medically and mentally the benefits of spending time in woodlands is becoming increasingly recognised.
Skills – Learning new skills, appreciating the wildlife and the environmental benefits the woodland brings. Many of our members share a love for nature and all things natural. We develop our wildlife, woodland management skills and knowledge of the use of wood as a fuel through training sessions, guests and sharing the knowledge of our members.
Free fuel – we operate a “logs for labour” approach to our group, meaning you come along to one of the sessions in the woods, help with the management of the woodland and in return take home a share of the timber for fuel. All members of the group will have the opportunity to come along to as many sessions as spaces permit and we are expanding the number of sessions as the group grows.
Join us – There is no formal commitment needed from you, the group is managed very informally, although health and safety in the woods is our highest priority. With around 80 members already we are a growing group, so If you would like more information on how to get involved send emailing to us at
We try to respond to emails within 24 hours, if you haven't heard anything after this time please check your spam/junk email folder. We can also be contacted by sending a message to our FaceBook page facebook.com/HeartwoodCommunityWoodfuelGroup
