Winter fuel

The reason for planting 1,000 baby ash trees in 1991 was so that we would have a fuel source for the house at Ty Canol.  With the lodge as well as the main house, we need to ensure there is a good stock prior to the winter. Et voila: the last couple of Saturdays were spent getting the wood shed stocked and wonderful it looks to now that it is getting full. We will be able to start cutting next winters trees once the leaves have fallen. The aim this winter will be to take down around 100 trees to coppice level, where they can begin the sprouting cycles again next spring. A coppice is a wonderful thing to behold!
