Stop press! 🌿

Are you someone who has previously participated in the Woodland Skills Course?

Are you looking for a plot to cut, manage and reap the benefits from, with the support of an experienced woodland team?

If so, we have a wonderful opportunity for the next cutting season that we are very excited to share!

In collaboration with Cwm A***n and Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, and with support from associated funders, we are offering the opportunity to hand-cut a quarter of an acre of Pengelli.

You can create your own plot alongside other coppice workers, or work as part of a team. There will also be input from time-served cutters, with mentoring and support provided during your time in the woods.

This is a pilot project and we are so excited to share it with the coppice community.

Interested? Places will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so get your skates on! 🌿
