Woodland Heritage champions the good use of home-grown timber from sustainable, productive woodlands for the benefit of present and future generations and has been named a 2025 Weston Charity Award winner, collecting a support package valued at over £22,000.
Did you know it’s #GrownInBritainWeek? Today’s theme is collaboration and investing in the future. In 2016, Woodland Heritage invested in Whitney Sawmills, becoming the owner of the highly respected sawmill.
If you’re here, chances are you’ve stumbled across this blog thanks to Matt Estlea’s video. Welcome! This probably means you already know who Matt is, and no introduction is needed, but for those who’ve found the blog by other means, this is a quick note to welcome you and share more about this exciting collaboration! Join the fun below by reading more about the collaboration & watch Matt’s video.
My previous blog, about my visit to the V&A, ended with a picture of oak, sawn and milled from a tree grown from an acorn harvested at the site of the WW1 battle in Verdun, France. This piece of historic, travelled wood was grown at Kew Gardens and handed to me, quite a few years later, at outdoor furniture maker Gaze Burvill’s bucolic barn, seated in Alton, Hampshire.
