Environment

Transport

  We encourage all course participants to meet at our local train station. This is the pick up point for all courses. So reduce your carbon foot print and take the train.

  We have limited facilities for cars on site restricted to course facilitators and the on site staff. In this way we hope to limit the road traffic through our beautiful Woodland.

Feet are made for walking, so come on chaps use them. Don’t worry we will run a ferry service to get all your kit up to the venue leaving you the time to enjoy an inspiring amble through the woods on your arrival.

Keeping warm

The Woodland Workshop is heated by a traditional wood burning stove. All the fuel for which comes straight from the sustainable woodland management in operation on the site. There is nothing like an open fire.

The Barn was constructed from the oak right here at woodland skills using traditional methods for construction including heavy horses. Although from the outside the Workshop looks rustic it has been well insulated and has double glazing. A cosy space to hold a meeting or workshop.

Re use and recycle

We are diligent wombles and recycle where ever we can. So look out for the glass, plastic paper and card containers when you visit us and remember our motto

Leave only ripples

We have a lovely permaculture garden in the pipe line so all green waist is used to make compost that will give all our seedlings the best start in life, the worms love it too.

All our company literature is printed on recycled paper products. Even better opt out of paper correspondence and let’s use the email and give the snails a break.

Community

We are working at forging lasting links with local groups including schools collages and charities working with disadvantaged kids. All are welcome here.
