Focussing on small and undermanaged woodlands, this one day course covers a wide range of issues relating to woodland management for the production of woodfuels including: management systems; timber quality; site assessments; measurement of timber; harvesting and extraction techniques, processing, storage and seasoning. A visit to a local woodland enables trainees to practice their new skills on the ground and discuss the theory learnt in the context of a real life situation.

As someone who has lived and worked with off-grid renewables, David
is well-placed to kick off the workshop on renewables this Sunday. The
introduction will be followed by a talk by Sue Finch, who lives in a
remote area of Northumberland and gets all her energy from renewables.

This talk is part of a series of events run by NREG, with many more
to come over the coming months – for further details on the additional
talks click here.

Ignite is an innovative training programme of practical seminars and interactive workshops with a focus on the woodfuel supply chain.
