This is the second Farm Forestry Demonstration to be run by Rural Development Initiatives for Cumbria Woodlands.  Exhibitors will be showing a wide range of smaller-scale equipment and techniques to unlock the potential of farm or small woodlands.   It will help you to see how you can get the most out of your woodland; give advice about small woodland produce, including woodfuel and consider how updating traditional working methods with imaginative, low-tech adaptations can turn wood into a saleable product

Developed by foresters with practical hands-on knowledge of woodland management and woodfuel production and supply, this course focuses on planting, managing and harvesting woodlands for use as woodfuel.  What timber is suited to what type of woodfuel (logs or chips), assessing woodlands, measuring timber, harvesting, extraction, conversion and the economic modelling of timber harvesting and woodfuel conversion are covered in this one day course.

This one-day workshop is targeted at shoot owners, managers, farmers, gamekeepers, foresters and conservation professionals.

The day will focus on:
