Our favourite wood store - building material that really does grown on trees


 

Love trees? Learn how to build with them!

Local woods are the best place to source trees for timber. They are living wood stores. Coppiced woodland materials have been used in buildings for centuries, and they literally grow on trees!
It doesn't get any more environmentally sound than that.

Why use locally sourced trees?
  • Reduces transportation costs and energy
  • Increases embodied carbon in your building for centuries
  • Saves valuable building material from woodburners
  • Provides much needed encouragement for the restoration and subsequent maintenance of our ancient woodlands
  • Coppiced trees regrow and provide a fresh supply of building materials
  • Keeps traditional skills alive
  • Makes great use of natural shaped trees
  • Learn more about building with trees on our Timber Framing courses
